CAW Protected Writing Time (POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH STUDENTS ONLY) In-Person

CAW Protected Writing Time (Postgraduate Research Students ONLY) sessions are for PhD research students at any stage of their writing. Please do not register for this event if you are not a PGR student. 

CAW is offering protected writing time sessions in a quiet, welcoming space to work on your research writing. Each session will have a facilitating academic (Assistant Professor or Lecturer in Academic Writing) on hand to discuss your writing.

You may register for multiple sessions. Places are limited to 15 attendees so it is important to cancel your place on the workshop using the cancellation link in the confirmation or reminder email should you not be able to attend. Please be aware that if you register for multiple sessions but do not attend the first one and have not cancelled your registration in advance, this may result in your other registered sessions being cancelled.

Thomas Clifton

Dr Thomas Clifton MA PGCE (pcet) is a Lecturer in Academic Writing and the centre lead for Academic Integrity and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Since joining CAW (2023), Thomas has supported academics and PGRs on their writing for study, research, and publication. Thomas’ educational career began in adult literacy, and he continues the pragmatic and person-centred approaches to writing he acquired here by focussing not only on academic writing as a transactional text, but also holistically on the practices, purposes, and voice of the writer. He has a passion for building learner confidence and autonomy through teaching, feedback, and reflection. With a background in English literature (Birmingham), Thomas’ research interests lie in writing practices, textual forms, and pedagogies for writing with AI. Thomas continues to publish and co-publish on academic writing pedagogy and literature.
