Thesis Writing Circle
Many postgraduate students find that they benefit from meeting informally, but purposefully and regularly, to seek and offer feedback on their work-in-progress. Such sessions, known as ‘Thesis Writing Circles’, are maintained by their members for as long as they prove helpful.
Our HUSS circle meets fortnightly, with members taking turns to submit not more than 1000 words of their thesis draft, identifying what they would (and wouldn't) like comments on. Other members take turns to review the pieces constructively and general discussion follows.
Dr Kate Chanock chairs and can provide useful resources for thesis writers — and, if asked, offer advice on questions of language, structure, and strategy. Here is a safe and sociable opportunity to gather responses to your work from more and different readers than your supervisor alone; and perhaps to focus on different aspects of the writing than supervisory meetings can accommodate. If interested, please email Kate at c.chanock@latrobe.edu.au.
