LBJ Institute Writing Retreat

The LBJ Institute Summer Scholarly Writing Retreat
for Faculty Women of Color


The LBJ Institute Writing Retreat is a purposeful initiative aimed at supporting faculty women of color by providing a communal environment to engage in productive research writing while discovering the intricacies of intersecting identities, leadership, sisterhood, and scholarship. A small group of women have been invited to participate in a 4-day summer writing retreat in 2018 and 2019. Future retreats may be announced for 2022.

Dr. Araceli Martinez Ortiz leads this effort and has opened a call for candidate nominations. University Department Chairs from across the university may nominate a scholar by sending an email with the candidate’s name and a statement of support. Any faculty member may be nominated as long as she meets the following criteria:

  • Serves as a full-time Texas State University faculty
  • Identifies as a woman of color
  • Leads or has potential to lead as an academic writing scholar
  • Has not participated in this writing retreat in the past two years

This four-day (three-night) writing retreat is a wonderful opportunity for participants to be productive in writing endeavors in a peaceful setting, amidst hardworking colleagues. Participants will share writing advice, connect with colleagues and receive mutual support and encouragement towards meeting writing goals.
