ABSTRACT

This final chapter focuses on the final write-up and dissemination of research findings. With an emphasis on rhetorical strategies, the chapter suggests that graduate student researchers consider their purposes and audiences for this work. It then offers guidance for positioning themselves as researchers/writers in order to write convincingly for their audiences. Prompts and examples assist students with selecting the best genre(s) to present their research, and they are encouraged to make use of feedback from both mentors and peers throughout the process. Again, the chapter offers numerous prompts and strategies to assist with preparing to write and writing, as well as sidebars that offer examples of how other researchers have successfully navigated and completed this stage.
