Felix Amoh Siaw is a Writing Consultant in the Centre for Scholarly Communication and a PhD candidate in the faculty of Interdisciplinary Studies (Global Studies), researching Sub-Saharan African politics, external interventions, armed conflicts, genocides, UN peace operations, neocolonialism, and bespoke anti-neocolonialism.
Through the CSC, Felix provides one-on-one consultations to graduate and post-doctoral researchers at UBC Okanagan who are writing journal articles, grant proposals, theses, and dissertations or preparing conference presentations.
During a writing consultation, Felix empowers his clients by reminding them that there’s no one who understands their research better than them. His goal isn’t to teach clients how to write but to help them identify what they might be missing.
“Writing is challenging, and when you’re deeply involved in the process, it’s easy to overlook mistakes in your analysis, grammar, arguments, and more. Having someone else review your work can help identify those gaps.”
