SSAAANZ Postgraduate/HDR Online Writing Group
The SSAAANZ Postgraduate/HDR Writing Group is a new online initiative open to postgraduate and research students looking for dedicated writing time, peer support, and opportunities to informally share work and give/receive feedback.
The group will meet monthly, from 1-3pm AEST/AEDT on the last Wednesday of the month.
The group will meet online via Zoom. It is open to research students (from honours to PhD level) and postgraduate coursework students working on research papers/projects.
There is also the option to share your work via a writing exchange amongst participants.
The goal of the sessions is not only writing, but to have a space to meet with other HDR/postgraduate screen scholars, discuss challenges associated with research and writing, and create connections across the SSAAANZ community.
This group is run with the understanding that many postgraduates and HDR students are juggling multiple commitments—attendance at all sessions is not mandatory, and casual drop-ins are very welcome if you’re unable to attend the whole session.
Upcoming sessions will be held on:
August 26, 1-3pm AEST
September 30, 1-3pm AEST
October 28, 1-3pm AEDT
November 25, 1-3pm AEDT
If you would like to participate in this initiative, please write to the HDR representative, Sophie Tallis (Sophie.tallis@anu.edu.au), who can answer any questions that you may have about the group. If this time/date doesn’t work, please get in touch regardless as there may be interest in additional times and dates.
