The Writing Wednesdays writing sessions aim to share experiences and strategies of writing up research in media studies. The sessions provide quiet, focused company for writing.
Each Wednesday morning we meet (online) to chat, catch up and share writing goals. The conversations are focused on ongoing media research, research methods, and writing strategies. We will then sit down for two hours of focused work time.
