Dissertation Boot Camp 

Dissertation Boot Camp is a free week-long writing workshop that provides graduate students in the humanities with the space, time, and support to focus on writing their dissertations. In order to do so, we’ve provided access to quiet writing areas, structured writing times, activities, and optional one-on-one writing consultation.

Every morning, we’ll begin with a general discussion of tips and tricks for writing the dissertation and developing writerly habbits, then move in to free writing time. During scheduled breaks, we’ll provide relaxation and re-focusing activities and we’ll have a communal BYO-lunch.

We’ll end every day with more writing time, and you’ll have the option to meet with a tutor, who will act as a practice audience for your writing, for up to 30 minutes a day.

This website houses the Boot Camp materials, schedule, and assessment surveys. All materials are available in an alternative format upon request.
