Often\, philosophical writing suffers from being ' writer-centric'\, i.e. focused more on the internal process of discovery t han on the reader. Because the discipline deals with high levels of abstra ction\, failing to account for 'reader-awareness' can leave even a solid a rgument inaccessible.\nOver three 90-minute sessions\, we will diagnose an d tackle these recurring issues. We will move beyond sentence-level correc tions to focus on higher-order concerns: fragmented structure\, opaque arg ument development\, and frictions caused by differing writing cultures (Co ntinental vs. Anglo-Saxon). Participants will learn to reverse-engineer su ccessful texts to identify the rhetorical strategies that create clarity w ithout sacrificing depth.\nThe workshop is practical. You will work direct ly with your own drafts to identify personal writing blind spots. We will also address academic pitfalls such as 'zombie nouns' (nominalizations) an d the ineffective use of passive voice. You will leave with a concrete too lkit for producing philosophical writing that is both theoretically rigoro us and highly readable.\n \;\nThe course will be led by Martin Sedláče k from the Department of Language Studies at the Czech Language Institute (Czech Academy of Sciences).\nThe in-person training will take place in th e FLÚ meeting room. Capacity is limited to 14 participants.\n \;\nRegi stration is required to attend the seminar.\n \;The course is primaril y intended for junior researchers at the Institute of Philosophy\; however \, due to available capacity\, we are opening the training to all.\n \ ;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\n \; https://vzdela vani.flu.cas.cz/en/skoleni-ve-flu/projekty-4/event/100-mastering-academic- writing-writing-for-the-reader-resolving-structural-and-stylistic-friction s DTSTART:20260615T090000Z DTEND:20260615T140000Z LOCATION:Zasedací místnost FLÚ (Jilská 1 - Místnost 124a) SUMMARY:Mastering academic writing.

Participa nts will also learn how to master the “pitch talk” format—brief\, engaging presentations that effectively communicate their research to diverse audi ences.\nThe programme combines an introductory lecture with an intensive\, interactive workshop. In the second session\, participants will actively work on their own presentations and self-introductions\, receive structure d feedback\, and refine their performance in a supportive environment. Emp hasis is placed on practical application\, peer learning\, and individuali sed guidance.\nThis workshop offers a valuable opportunity to refine your presentation skills\, communicate your research more effectively in Englis h\, and prepare for active participation in international conferences and academic events.\n \;\nProgramme:\n\nMay 21 (9:00–14:00) – Intro Lectu re: Breaking into Academic Discourse\, Contrastive Rhetorics (introductory session)\nMay 29 (9:00–14:00) – Mastering Academic Presentations and Netw orking: Practical Workshop (in person\, practice-based session)\n\n \; \nFormat: Two-part training (theory + practice) Capacity: 10–14 participan ts\nThe workshop will be held in English (recommended level is B1+ and abo ve).\nParticipation in both parts of the workshop is required.\n \;\n \nDue to limited capacity\, early registration is recommended.\nThe course is primarily intended for junior researchers at the Institute of Philosop hy\; however\, due to available capacity\, we are opening the training to all.\n \; https://vzdelavani.flu.cas.cz/en/skoleni-ve-flu/projekty-4/e vent/101-mastering-academic-presentations-and-networking-practical-worksho p DTSTART:20260521T080500Z DTEND:20260529T100500Z LOCATION:Zasedací místnost FLÚ (Jilská 1 - Místnost 124a) SUMMARY:Mastering Academic Presentations and Networking: Practical Workshop URL:https://vzdelavani.flu.cas.cz/en/skoleni-ve-flu/projekty-4/event/101-ma stering-academic-presentations-and-networking-practical-workshop END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
