Our lives are changing so rapidly, and we are all struggling to keep up. So it is time to get some perspective and make the changes that are needed. But we need to make the changes that suit us in our research lives, home lives and careers. And we need to make the changes in a way that we can manage. A session to help you regain focus, plan and action getting colleagues on board.

Tidy up your structure, develop your proof reading and editing. Working with a professional proof reader, this session will help you tidy up you writing; make your writing clearer for your reader; and to get your message across.

Paragraphs: the building blocks of your thesis.

Are your paragraphs clear and persuasive? Do you use signposting effectively? This workshop will explore effective ways to structure paragraphs. In addition to analysing example paragraphs, you will be able to work on editing your own.

A PhD is challenging. Doing it in another language makes it more so.

The series is designed to support you with many aspects of the process. We cover writing and speaking, reading

and presenting. We discuss how we network and create connections. We also discuss the vagaries of undertaking

research in the UK, strange British habits and accents, the words that mean something entirely different and trip

us up every time.

The sessions are run by a Warwick PhD and lecturer, who still occasionally struggles to find the correct English

word.
