Our Reading & Discussion sessions are meant to make academia accessible and contextual. We will send you an academic text on the topic beforehand and facilitate an informal discussion around it during the Sunday session.
Our Interactive workshops/courses/panels are collaborations with knowledge experts and experienced practitioners working on important and understudied topics. How To: Start Writing is the latest addition in our How To series, and focuses on sustaining your writing practice from ideation to pitching.
