A writing workshop series will be held at the Diversity, Equity and Education Collective (DeCol) from July to September 2021. The writing workshop series will offer a dedicated space on Zoom to write on your own projects (research/ grant proposals, thesis, journal articles, book chapters etc.), whereby the language can be other than English. It is designed as a collaborative and generative writing space from a feminist perspective and will run six times, for 1.5 hours each, between July and September.

Academic writing: editing

The sessions will be facilitated and cover a combination of academic writing techniques and reflective discussions on voice, reflexivity, audience, and editing, while responding to participants’ needs in relation to their respective writing projects. Each session provides balanced input, time to write and space to exchange, to inspire and further develop our writing projects.
Participants will be asked to bring a concrete writing project to the sessions. Preparatory activities, such as suggested readings or short reflection, will be provided but not mandatory. Participation is free of charge, open to all and can be arranged by emailing Gunjan at gunjan.wadhwa@brunel.ac.uk.
