Feeling daunted by the ‘publish or perish’ discourse in HE? Building on our previous writing events, this event will combine a writing retreat with input from Professor Lesley Gourlay, a highly productive researcher and author in the field of education. She will share her experiences with writing and publishing to help you develop strategies for making time for research and publishing alongside other responsibilities.
This session will also have dedicated time for peer coaching and planning to ensure that you come away with implementable strategies to help you navigate the journey from writing to publishing in academia.
