In August 2025, EDST doctoral students were invited to attend two dissertation writing workshops led by Dr. Autumn Knowlton<\/a><\/strong>, EDST alum, Dissertation Coach, and professional editor at (Re)Visions<\/em>. The workshops offered clear, practical guidance on how to approach each part of the dissertation, from the early stages of planning to writing the final conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One participant said “I wish I had this information earlier, like in my first year of my PhD! This was so helpful, wow!”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The workshops emphasized clarity, structure, and scholarly confidence\u2014reminding students that a dissertation is not a book, but a focused scholarly document with a clear purpose: to answer a research question and make a meaningful contribution to knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
