Writing gurus
Target group: doctoral researchers
These three sessions are designed to help you get into the habit of writing regularly and productively. Inspired by the Pomodoro technique, each session is split into intervals with clear goals. The first session focuses on prewriting strategies. The second session, which is run jointly with our Department for PhD Candidates, is a freestyle session dedicated to writing. The third session focuses on time and task management. All sessions provide a structured space for hands-on writing, allowing some time for mutual peer support and the discussion of your personal writing challenges. Four participants who complete their drafts during the workshop can attend a 45-minute writing consultation with Dr. Julie Davies from our University’s Academic Editing Service on Tuesday, February 18. Improve your writing skills – don’t miss out!
