Writing Focus

Have you a chapter/ paper/ article that you need to get on and write?

Are you procrastinating or stuck? Need time commitment or feedback?

The Writing Focus sessions offer you both.

Turn up and write in 25-minute chunks, taking a short break in between. This focussed group activity keeps you on task, accountable and productive.

Or are you needing some feedback or advice on grammar, paragraph sign posting or argument construction. Then book yourself 20 minutes with our writing tutor who will help you get back writing.

(You can also give yourself some focussed reading time as well)

Bring your current project, your current problem and have 90 minutes of constructive, productive work.

Pop into the Research Exchange to enjoy some coffee and cake, while chatting with other researchers.

These sessions are a great opportunity to network with other researchers, discuss your research, and to take a break so that you can return to your work refreshed and relaxed.

Research Refresh runs throughout the year, apart from University closed days.

In this workshop we will be discussing the processes and phases we usually go through when in moments of transition. This session is open for every stage of your research: whether you are just entering your PhD journey and having to adapt to a new ‘academic life’, whether you are heading towards its end and having to ‘let go’ and submit your thesis; or even if you are situated in that middle ‘in-between’ zone, which can feel disorientating at times. We will talk through what the process of transition usually entails, aim to normalise it by understanding how it manifests in our emotions (everyone goes through it!), and ultimately, find strategies to help us better deal with the particular stage we find ourselves in.
