Writing with Visual Materials

Environmental Writing Studio Workshop

28.04.2026 10:00  – 12:00 

Location: Multifunktionsraum, Fachbibliothek Philologicum, Ludwigstraße 25, 80539 Munich, Germany

Guest Speaker: Cary Moskovitz

From scientific writing with figures, tables, and diagrams to humanistic essays that include images of artwork, maps, or musical examples, visual materials are often important to the writing scholars do. But scholars’ attempts to integrate those visuals in their writing are often less effective than they could be. This session presents an innovative heuristic designed to help writers move beyond “See figure 1” to a richer written engagement with visual elements.
Participants are asked to bring laptops.

The workshop is limited to 15 people. To sign up, please email pauline.kargruber@rcc.lmu.de.
