Together for the “kappa” – a workshop for those whom are almost done

Photo: Participants at Sommarøy Arctic Hotel Tromsø.
Students and Faculty: Norsi arranged 22-24 August 2018 a writing workshop focusing on how to write the introduction to article-based dissertations. 13 Norsi students from different institutions all over Norway got together at Sommarøy Arctic Hotel, Troms to get feed-back and inspiration from Norsi faculty and their peers. The seminar coordinator was professor Lene Foss, Artic – UiT who were joined by professors Roger Sørheim, NTNU and Rune Dahl Fitjar, UiS.
Kappa – format: The seminar was held to highlight some of the confusions often surrounding the “kappa” writing process as there is no clear standard for the “kappa” – neither in terms of form, content or scope and each academic institution usually have developed some requirements of their own.
Sommarøy: The island delivered inspiring nature, stunning sunsets, time to reflect and write, and of course good tasting salmon dishes.
