Join us for an insider's guide to the scholarly publishing journey featuring editors Douglas McDougall (CTL) and Arlo Kempf (CTL) alongside a student perspective from Haoyi. This session aims to demystify the "black box" of academic journals through personal anecdotes and practical advice. We'll explore the lifecycle of a manuscript: from strategic journal selection and understanding editorial expectations to navigating peer review and mastering revisions.

Workshop (3:00 pm 鈥 4:30 pm)
Location: 果酱视频 12-115
Tawnee Dulce: Journey Through the Body 鈥 Mindfulness in Journaling
This workshop will explore artful and embodied modes of presentation through the practice of journaling as a spiritual and meditative expression of art. Situated in research on mindfulness, self-compassion, and predictive cognition, this workshop explores daily writing as both an artistic process and a spiritual practice that cultivates a meditative flow state, promoting self awareness and higher consciousness. This session invites others to move beyond expected presentation formats into experiential, somatic, and visual representations of individual meaning-making.
The objective of the workshop is to demonstrate how journaling can function as a spiritual practice which engages focused attention, open awareness, and an attitude of kindness. Participants will work with multiple journaling approaches, including stream-of-consciousness writing, body mapping, and a somatic meditation to experience a meditative-flow state. Creative journaling practice presents writing as an artistic date involving sensation, emotion, memory, and imagination. By engaging the body, the page, and surrounding, participants experience greater ways of releasing inner knowledge which challenge linear and verbal forms of expression.
Participation is central to the workshop鈥檚 design. Participants actively co-create written and visual pieces, collaborate with others, engage in reflexivity, and contribute to collective word-mapping exercises that will expose shared themes and emotional states. The metaphor of a 鈥渏ourney鈥 facilitates the experience, encouraging participants to see their writing as travel through the body and their inner landscape. Each participant will receive a small journal booklet for their reflections and artwork.
