Greetings from the TASA Sociology of Youth thematic group.
We had a good turn out for the inaugural Shut Up and Write sessions in the first week of April.
We did indeed get to know each other, find out what we are working on, and get some writing done! Among other things, we talked about what constitutes writing, and the ethical issues for researchers if participants disclose illegal activity.
The format is 15 mins to say hello and state our writing goals for the session, then 45 mins of silent writing, then half an hour to debrief and discuss any other youth issues and interests. Feel free to come for the writing, and/or the informal chat. We want to continue the drop-in feel of these monthly sessions.
The next session will be Wednesday, May 03, 2023, 3:00 PM until 4:30 PM (AEST), and the first Wednesday of the month thereafter.
