Practical, evidence-based workshops for researchers, graduate students, and academic professionals who want to communicate their work with clarity and impact.
Workshop Areas
Scientific Writing for Researchers and Graduate Students
Designed for researchers, postdocs, and graduate students who need to write compelling scientific papers, proposals, and statements. These workshops draw on nearly a decade of developmental editing experience and over 500 publications. Participants learn to structure arguments, strengthen their evidence presentation, and write prose that reviewers and readers actually want to read.
Research Literacy and the CERIC Method
An interactive workshop introducing the CERIC framework (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning, Implications, Context) for critically reading primary research literature. Available as a half-day intensive or a multi-session series. Ideal for graduate programs, research methods courses, and faculty development.

Academic Communication for International Students
Workshops for international students navigating academic communication in English-speaking universities — from writing conventions to presentation skills to understanding the unspoken expectations of academic culture. Also available as train-the-trainer sessions for university staff who support international student populations.
Custom Workshops
Genevive works with university departments, research groups, and academic organizations to design workshops tailored to specific needs. Past custom workshops have covered topics including online course design, curriculum development, qualitative research methods, and academic career navigation for women in doctoral programs.
