Speakers:
Whether you’re working on a journal article or your PhD thesis, we all know that writing can be extremely challenging. You might have tried the Pomodoro technique at home or writing down your writing goals daily. Everybody has different ways of motivating themselves and getting words on the paper. But if you hadn’t considered a writing retreat before, this seminar is a perfect introductory session to what they are and how they can be useful to you.
Topics that may be covered include:
These are just some of the questions that this session will cover as we demystify writing retreats for PhDs and early career researchers. If you’ve heard about writing retreats before but have never been on one, this session will give you a valuable insight into whether attending one might be the right next step for you – especially if you are in the writing-up stages of your thesis!
There will be an opportunity to ask specific questions too – so, bring your thoughts along!
This lunchtime seminar forms part of the Political Studies Association Early Career Network’s ‘Publication Pipeline’ which aims to support ECRs to equip themselves with the skills and knowledge to secure a publication. There is still much work to be done to make academia more inclusive. In our commitment to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion within the discipline, this workshop aims to widen access to conferences and publication by bolstering the skills of ECRs and removing barriers to much of the ‘unspoken’ knowledge we need to participate. We encourage participation from scholars of all backgrounds based in any location.
