Scholarly Writing Retreat 2021
The Scholarly Writing Retreat offers Washington University humanities and humanistic social sciences faculty, post-docs and graduate students the opportunity to jump-start their summer writing in a motivated, supportive and collaborative atmosphere, even as we are spread out in our own work spaces. Participants will work intensively on their individual projects, following a schedule of check-ins, focused writing periods and virtual communal breaks.
Online meetings
Small writing groups meet online periodically to provide a forum to exchange ideas, support one another and engage in social interaction. Each group will determine their own structure: frequency and duration of writing days/times, which virtual platform to use, types of meetings, etc.
Dates
Weekdays, June 1–11
Participants are not required to participate daily nor to attend the entire duration of the retreat.
