A Charles Sturt University (CSU) academic is ready to co-direct an international action research project following the success of a pilot workshop he conducted to develop the writing and publication skills of staff and postgraduate students at the Faculty of Social Work at Thammasat University, Bangkok, on 5 September. Associate Professor Manohar Pawar, from the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at CSU at Wagga Wagga, will co-direct the Knowledge Creation and Dissemination project with a former editor of International Social Work, Emeritus Professor Karen Lyons from the London Metropolitan University. “The pilot workshop emphasised the importance of writing for publication, and was part of the proposed Knowledge Creation and Dissemination Project which aims to enhance academic writing for publication skills development. Participants’ evaluation showed the usefulness of the workshop, and the need for such workshops with a longer duration. After successful funding, the project workshop will be offered to social work educators and researchers elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific region at their invitation,” Professor Pawar said.
