We're excited to announce our new monthly writing workshops for PhDs, Postdocs, and Early Career Researchers. These sessions offer a unique opportunity to present and receive feedback on your work in an innovative format. The platform is not limited to but focuses on work that uses critical approaches to questions of race, class, gender and other intersections. Staff and CCLS members are all warmly invited to participate in the writing workshops and support early career researchers with their insights and feedback.

Writing Workshop Format

We've organized these sessions with a twist: rather than presenting your own work, we will present each other's papers. This approach offers several benefits

• Removes the pressure of self-presentation
• Allows authors to focus on receiving feedback
• Encourages constructive discussion rather than defensive responses

Session Structure

Each one-hour session will be structured as follows:

• 15 minutes: Presentation of the paper by an assigned presenter/discussant
• 5 minutes: Initial feedback from the presenter kicking off the conversation
• 40 minutes: Open discussion and further feedback

Participation Guidelines

• Participants will be assigned one paper to present
• All attendees are expected to read and comment on all papers carefully
• Authors should come prepared to receive feedback and consider ways to advance their work
• Papers must be provided at least 10 days prior to the session

You are all welcome to come and share your work. This is a splendid opportunity for postdocs and early career researchers to share their writing in a safe and supportive environment. Whether you are preparing for your upgrade, the PGR conference or any other publication, funding application or presentation, we encourage all ECRs to take advantage of this valuable platform for academic growth and collaboration.
