LIVE ONLINE WORKSHOP RECORDING
Resources for Research: A Panel about Writing Case Studies
With Anna Marie Bowers, Kate Tarlow Morgan, Pat Ethridge, Elisabeth Osgood-Campbell
REGISTER FOR THIS JUNE 2024 VIDEO BELOW
Whether you are new to the idea of writing about your professional work or are an experienced qualitative researcher, we invite you to an informational session on writing case studies about the somatic movement education/therapy that you do!
Panelists will share resources that already exist through ISMETA, the Trager Foundation, and Currents/BMCA. There will be time for Question and Answer as well as an opportunity to envision next steps for those who want to learn the framework and necessary skills to write about their work with clients.
Building a case study resource is increasingly important to establish recognition for our work and to share our expertise with our colleagues. Please bring your knowledge and experience to this project.
Live attendance is encouraged. However, the event recording will be available on the course page in the Professional Development Center shortly after the event is completed.
