Princeton Graduate Students: The cold weather may be driving us indoors, but don't let that stop you from making progress on your writing! Dissertation Boot Camp is here to help you remain productive. All the central elements of a productive Boot Camp—space to write, focused writing time, camaraderie, and the opportunity to reflect on the writing process—have been reimagined for a remote format, so we can safely and productively make strides toward those elusive but achievable letters: P H D.
Weekly Schedule
The January 2022 Dissertation Boot Camp runs in a virtual format from Monday, January 3 to Friday, January 7. The launch and plenary debrief sessions are required, plus participation in at least 5 of the 8 writing sessions & debriefs.
