Writing Group Meetings. Friday 28 February 14:00-16:00 GMT. Whether you have a paper to work on, or some reading to do, join our monthly writing group for a couple of hours of productive work! These writing groups are informal independent sessions, not a writing course or formal talk about academic writing. We simply use Zoom as a way to connect and help us focus! They last for two hours with time for goal setting and breaks for tea and coffee.
