Co-writing & Coffee
Mondays 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. ET
The Emerson College Research Hub at Emerson College will be offering space and time once a week for co-writing with peers, with coffee and snacks, on Mondays in the 6th Floor of the Walker Building 639. Sit with colleagues for concentrated time for writing, and for peer support and motivation!
On the first Monday of each month, we'll welcome CITL conversations from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. in support of accelerating faculty.
These sessions will allow us to briefly share what we're working on, grab something to drink and snack on, and to find space and time to write in a generative space! Please share with your communities and all Emerson community members are welcome to join!
Research and Grantseekers Community Luncheon
Monthly, 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. ET (February 11, March 19, April 15)
Each month, the Hub will host a common hour lunch and curated time for faculty to have discussions about research projects, new ideas, potential collaborations, and more. Some lunches will have a curated agenda ahead of time, while others will be left open for informal networking, idea generation, and general connections around research activity.
Food and conversation. Networking and collaboration. Ideas and visions. Come to learn about colleagues' work, engage in discussions about what’s possible at Emerson!
