Writing is a craft and one of the key requirements in conveying any research. It is also a vital part of academia and requires creativity but also scientific robustness. ETHOS Lab acknowledges this desk-work as an analytical process that needs to be taken seriously, which is why we run weekly #shutupandwrite sessions. This semester, it is coordinated by Junior Researchers Amalie, Tea and Marianna alongside Lab Assistant Luuk and Lab Manager Marie. <\/em><\/p>\n

Thursdays 13:00-16:00 in ETHOS Lab (3A30 at ITU).<\/strong>
\nStarts on Thursday 5 March 2020 
\n<\/strong>Ends on Thursday 28 May 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join us to fight writer’s block!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Writing is hard! No matter whether you are doing your thesis or working on a different project, actually taking the time to sit down and write is difficult. So why not do it together?<\/p>\n

Join us for Thursday afternoons of writing where we will be following the Inframethodology<\/a> presented by Thomas Basb\u00f8ll. Prepare a list of (3-6) key sentences (potentially along with references) that you would like to write a paragraph about. We will spend 27 minutes writing one paragraph about one key sentence, then take 3 minutes break, constituting 1 writing block. <\/p>\n

Each Thursday, we will do 6 writing blocks from 13:00 to 16:00 at ETHOS Lab. Everyone is welcome; also to drop in and out during the 3 minutes breaks. While we suggest bringing key sentences with you, the only requirement is really that you sit down (and shut up) and write for an afternoon.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The initiative was introduced to the IT-University by co-head of lab Rachel Douglas-Jones, also co-teaching the course ‘Writing Innovation Studio’. Rachel has successfully been organizing #shutupandwrite sessions for ETHOS Lab researchers and refers to the blog ‘The Thesis Whisperer<\/a>‘ by Dr. Inger Mewburn, Director of Research Training at the Australian National University for inspiration.<\/p>\n

No matter what you are writing on – please join in the sessions and read more about the advantages<\/a> of making them part of your study\/academic rhythms.<\/p>\n
