WHC Pathway Writing Morning

As part of their PGR training and development activities for the 2026-27 academic year, the Wellbeing, Health and Communities (WHC) training team will be running a series of online writing mornings. Please fill in this form to sign up. Calendar invitations will then be sent directly to the email address that you provide.

The aim of these sessions is to create a structured, but relaxing and supportive environment that promotes focus and helps you protect and dedicate your time for your research work. You do not have to be at the writing stage in order to participate; you can use the writing mornings to work on any element of your research, including reading and note taking, filling in your ethics applications, analysing data, working on your reference list, addressing feedback, editing etc.

The sessions are open to all PGRs in the social sciences from our partner universities whose work is connected to wellbeing, health and/or communities. This includes PGRs who are not funded by the WRDTP/ESRC.

Dr Anna Topakas, WHC Pathway Deputy Director, will facilitate these sessions; this will not involve providing any feedback or input on your work. You may attend the full session, or join only part of the session. We recommend that you try to arrive or leave in one of the breaks (see the schedule in the calendar invitation).

After November 13th, the next sessions will take place:

• Friday 20th November 2026, 09:30-12:30 (Online)

• Friday 27th November 2026, 09:30-12:30 (Online)

• Friday 4th December 2026, 09:30-12:30 (Online)
