Every month we meet online as a group via Google Meet. We have lots of different types of sessions, outlined below. To check out our past meetings, click here. 

Bring-A-Problem Sessions, where we talk about issues we’re having with our work and try to help each other out. 

Thesis Lab Sessions, where we break down the thesis-writing process into different areas, eg. Introductions, Body Paragraphs, Bibliography, Planning etc. We share our experiences and approaches and ask questions. 

Reading Group Sessions, where members lead a reading session on a primary or secondary text they’ve selected. You can find out more about our previous sessions here. 

Guest Speaker sessions, where (you guessed it!) we host guest speakers. These speakers sometimes talk to us about their own work, sometimes deliver workshops, sometimes talk to us about aspects of Personal and Professional Development. We’ve been lucky enough to talk to Dr Nicole Sheriko (Yale University) about careers and fellowships, Dr Andy Kesson (University of Roehampton) about A Bit Lit and Box Office Bears, Professor David McInnis (University of Melbourne) about the Lost Plays Database and his book Shakespeare and Lost Plays, and Dr Sophie Duncan (University of Oxford) about Shakespeare’s Props: Memory and Cognition.

We also love to have member-led sessions! If you’ve got a workshop you’d like to run with the group or a text that you’re particularly passionate about, get in touch with Izzi, Juliana and Maria at revelsoffice@gmail.com and tell us what you’d like to do. 

All PGR or ECR early modernists are welcome to join our meetings! If you’d like to become a Revels Office member and receive our emails, then sign up to our mailing list here.
