Prefer to work on scholarship in the evenings? Join other night owls in this accountability group for support, encouragement, and connection. Participation in an accountability group offers a space for scholarly productivity in a supportive community. By setting goals, providing feedback, and navigating roadblocks together, participants are able to make progress on an individual scholarly project.
Recognizing that scholarship is accomplished in a variety of ways, this accountability group is designed for those who think best as the sun sets. Participants will focus on a specific scholarly project during group meetings in order to make progress toward identified goals.
Over the course of six weeks, participants will meet on Tuesdays for dedicated writing time, accountability checks, and collective encouragement. Participants will commit to being present for six 2.5-hour time blocks on the given dates. Participants will also interact with one another outside group meeting times to support individual progress on their scholarly projects.
Coffee, tea, and snacks will be provided!
