Attention HDR students: Do you have heaps of writing to do that always seems to be put off until tomorrow? Need to break some perfectionist habits and get cracking on that thesis draft? Worried about slow progress and looming deadlines?

Registrations are open for the ADM+S Thesis Boot Camp. Designed for students in mid-to-late candidature with a significant amount of data collected, the program aims to re-energise students’ writing progress and overcome hurdles slowing them down. This program will include focused discussion on approaches to writing, thesis structure, clarifying arguments, and strategies for writing quickly and writing well. Thesis Boot Camp participants will work through common challenges faced at this point in the journey, such as writer’s block and thesis fatigue, to achieve significant progress on their manuscript. The bootcamp will be delivered by Dr Liam Connell.

This intensive workshop will be held at The Oxford Scholar in Melbourne from 15-16 May 2025. Participants will need to be available across both days.
Catering will be provided across the bootcamp dates including morning teas, lunch and afternoon teas.
