Hello All,

Thankyou very much for allowing me the time to introduce the Writing Group in the Colloquium today.  Here are my slides which include links to the book and resources by Barbara Sarnecka. I also referred to: Eco, Umberto. How to Write a Thesis. Translated by Caterina Mongiat Farina and Geoff Farina. MIT Press, 2015.

I will send an email to organise the first session.

By the way, I just sent all of the students an email to set up the first meeting of the Writing Group. If you didn't receive it but wanted to, please let me know. I was not sure if I had the right email addresses for everyone.

Update on the writing group:
 
We had the initial meeting on 21.11.2025 and agreed on the following format:
  • A weekly meeting at 14:00 on Fridays on a Zoom link.
  • First 10 mins check-in questions, then 30 minutes silent writing until the meeting automatically stops
  • Join on same link at 14:45 for 10min check-out and wrap up.  Optional staying for a second round of 30 minute silent writing.
  • The group will communicate via Signal
  • It is a closed group, so that participants are more comfortable to open up about their struggles
  • There is an optional shared accountability sheet, where we write each week our writing goals to be completed by the next session

If you have not joined already and would like to, please send me an email with your number for the Signal group
