Black British History Writing Workshops
Thursday 16 January, Thursday 30 January & Thursday 13 February
Room N304 | IHR, North Block, Senate House, Malet Street, WC1E 7HU
09:00 – 17:00
These workshops are designed to foster accountability for researchers of histories of race who need to produce a significant piece of writing. They are particularly useful for students who are working on chapters, articles, conference papers, funding applications, literature reviews etc. They provide the opportunity to meet looming deadlines while working with peers and building new connections within the academy.
Please note that these writing sessions do not include a skills and training component (although we encourage you to share tips with each other). There is no need to sign-up and you can attend as many workshops as required. Feel free to drop in and drop out of the hourly sessions (please see the workshop schedule for timings).
Attendees are welcome to bring a packed lunch or eat at the food hall – there is also access to a water fountain, kettle, and microwave.
We would be happy to turn these workshops into hybrid events (in-person and online) if there is a demand for it – contact olivia.wyatt@sas.ac.uk for further information.
