Attendees will be invited to briefly introduce themselves and what writing they are working on before writing begins, and there will be 5 minutes at the end for a brief reflection on the challenges & joys of writing.

Bring your laptop or pen & paper. Tea, coffee, water and biscuits will be provided to help with the writing process!

Please register so we know how many to cater for: https://gfrn-writing.eventbrite.co.uk

If you can't make this date (or have more writing to do) we have an additional session on 19th June at G1 seminar room, 10 Woburn Square

We would love your feedback on what future writing groups could focus on: publishing, AI, inspirational writers or something else. Please let us know: ucl.gfrn@ucl.ac.uk

Gender and Feminisms Research Network

The network brings together scholars and students at UCL and beyond, working across the arts, humanities and social and political sciences. Our aim is to explore the points where gender and feminist politics intersect with a diverse range of power relations and social movements. We also want to support broader EDI initiatives at UCL, working towards social change and widening access to research on gender and sexual diversity.
