While writing a dissertation in many ways continues the work you do in graduate school (reviewing literature, conducting research, and writing up results), it also takes you into new territory. Dissertation writers have more independence, less structure, softer deadlines, meetings with an advisor, lack of classmates, and (sometimes) different expectations about managing time. We’ll talk about adjusting to this stage, identify challenges and ways to overcome them, and offer ideas about starting a dissertation buddy system or small group. Elizabeth Fox from MIT’s Writing and Communication Center will offer resources and an exercise to get your writing going. Please register by emailing emfox@mit.edu
