馃搮 Format


  • Presentation: 30 minutes
  • Open Discussion / Q&A: 30 minutes
  • Material: Anything, really -- assessed essay (for MAs), a supervision essay (for MPhils), or a thesis section (for PhDs), ...
  • Style: Flexible -- slides, handouts, or simply talking.
  • Audience: No prior reading or background knowledge expected. Visiting PhDs should can present.

馃 Should I present? ("I have nothing to present; I hate public speaking; etc.")


  • Are you a postgraduate? Then yes, you should present.
  • In other words, all graduates are encouraged to present at least once.
  • The WIP is a unique opportunity for graduates to develop their public speaking / writing skills, take risks, test out theses, and get constructive feedback from peers.*
  • Presentations need not (in fact, should not) be watertight or polished pieces at all. You are encouraged to present work at all stages of the writing process -- first drafts, substantial sets of notes, etc.
  • Simply signing up for a date is a great way to give yourself a deadline to work towards. (This is what most people do.)
