Facilitated by Peers
Join an exclusive GSA ESPO members-only peer-led pre-proposal writing group for a supportive environment in which to exchange critical feedback, push past procrastination, and stay accountable to your goals. This is a member benefit offered at no cost to GSA ESPO members.
Each small group (3 to 6 members) will meet virtually every other week for 1 to 1.5 hours (based on the number of participants in the group). 12-week-long commitment requested. Daytime and evening groups available.
Here are some things you will do as part of the group:
- Create a writing schedule with measurable goals.
- Report on goals each session to stay accountable.
- Provide your writing for review and contribute feedback on group members’ writing.
- Support each other through the sharing of resources and ideas.
- Troubleshoot challenges.
Eligibility:
- You must maintain valid ESPO membership throughout the semester-long writing group.
- You can be anywhere in your dissertation process but you must at least be at the pre-proposal writing stage (if you seek for support in writing your dissertation you could join the Dissertation Writing Group).
- Meetings and writing samples must be in English.
- You should commit to participate in the group for the full 12-week term.
- You must agree to and sign a statement to ensure confidentiality of other group members’ work/ideas.
