Supporting Early Career Researchers to write persuasively: Rhetorical analysis of Fellowship applications  

This short article offers some ideas for how Researcher and Academic Developers can make effective use of written examples in the workshops that we run. It focuses on helping participants to prepare funding applications as an example, but, in a broader sense also shows how helping participants to review written examples might help them to identify key learning that they can then apply to their own applications. I argue that potential applicants should be instructed in how to read example applications to gain the maximum benefit, and that using rhetorical analysis may be one useful approach.
