The Part-Time Students Network
Do you struggle to find motivation to write during the mid-week slump?
Would you like to be part of a community that supports your academic writing journey at whatever stage you are at?
Welcome to the first workshop of the Part-Time Students Network! This event is for busy postgraduate students, research staff, and visiting fellows who would like a structured period of writing time with their peers. Inspired by similar co-working and co-writing communities in the division, this event will use writing prompts and discussion exercises to provide real-time feedback to participants-no matter the kind of writing project you are working on.
Objectives:
- To practice writing warm-up exercises
- To understand which discussions inspire your writing
- To reach a writing goal for the week
