Shut up & Work

Are you frustrated about not reaching your writing goals? Writing can be challenging and can sometimes make us feel like we are the only one struggling to make progress. Mutual support and encouragement can be very helpful for your progress as a writer and a postgraduate researcher.

Our Shut up & Work sessions aim to help you work more productively in a supportive environment. You come along, set your targets for the day and work in a supportive environment until you achieve your targets. Your targets do not only need to focus on writing, but can be any aspect related to your research e.g. reading, data analysis, planning etc. You can learn more about our Shut up and Work sessions in this blog post. 

Each session starts at 09:30 and finishes at 16:30 and has coffee breaks to allow you to recharge and network with other postgraduate researchers without feeling guilty.

Shut up & Work sessions are scheduled to take place on the following dates:

• Wednesday 12 February 2020
• Tuesday 25 February 2020

Shut up and Work Extra sessions:
