GSS Side-by-Side Writing: The Covid Edition

GGS event showing students and professors of the department

During the Covid pandemic, our work continues, so we are inviting you to join our virtual GSS Side-by-Side Writing Group. We are meeting three times a week for two hours each on Zoom, chat about the projects we are working on (or anything else that moves us that day), and work on whatever needs to be done. This may include organizing and reviewing notes, editing, reading, setting up a new project or simply thinking. Of course, we also do actual writing on our projects. We write for three sessions of 35 minutes each with 5(-ish) minute breaks to stretch, use the facilities, or simply chat.

The point is to create a mutually supportive and relaxed environment as we work in isolation, lack the structure and perhaps the motivation of our normal everyday lives. All current and former GSS students and faculty members are welcome to join us for the occasional or regular sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 10:30-12:30 Toronto time. If you'd like to join us, please send an email to gsschair@uwaterloo.ca.
