ECHO Writing Strategies Postponed

Due to a lack of interest (probably due to IRC deadlines) the ECHO Writing Strategies workshop will be postponed until later in the semester. Watch this space!

ECHO is delighted to welcome you to another workshop, this time on writing strategies, aimed at researchers across the arts and humanities, and considering how, when, what, and why to write.

ECHO Workshop: Career Paths

Our introductory meeting this semester is an open discussion of where to go – and where we are all going – in academic life. We will have contributions from three academics across the College of Arts, talking personally about how they ended up in the places they did, and we will discuss ways to begin to think about a future in academia. Anyone at the beginning (or end!) of their research life and will have much to share and to discover. Wine will be served to whet appetites for this opening session. As ever, all are very welcome.
