Media, Arts and Humanities - 2-Day Summer Writing Retreat - Arts A108

We all need time to write, whether we are working on a book, article, funding bid, or blog. In response to this need, writing retreats throughout the academic year have become a popular and important strand of the School of Media, Arts and Humanities' programme of events.

This special on-campus event will take place in Arts A108 from 9.30am-4pm on Thursday 4th and Friday 5th July. You are welcome to come to both days or just one. 

**Please note - sign ups after 2pm on Thursday 27th June will not be included for any catering. You are still very welcome to attend the Retreat but please bring your own lunch provisions and refreshments**

It will be an informal opportunity for faculty and PGRs to prioritise their writing and initiate a productive summer of research. Offering a flexible, unpressured approach to communal and/or individual writing, it is open to all career stages and types of research and affirms the School’s commitment to supporting all faculty and PGRs with their writing.
