ANZAMEMS Postgraduate Peer Support Group

**Announcing the upcoming ANZAMEMS postgraduate Peer Support Group**

The Peer Support Group is a writing and discussion space for postgraduate members of ANZAMEMS.

The group will run quarterly through 2024 and 2025. Each ‘workshop’ will potentially consist of three elements: one writing day, a writing exchange via email, and a feedback session of around one hour.

The group will run online, via Zoom, and is open to postgraduate members at any stage from honours to PhD. The workshops will be scheduled to accommodate members in time zones spanning from Western Australia to Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Attendance across all sessions is not mandatory. This is an informal support group, and we welcome drop-ins as much as regular attendance.

The initiative is meant to create a safe space to discuss challenges and difficulties associated with postgraduate study and foster connections between medieval and early modern scholars across the community.

More information including specific dates and times will follow shortly.

If you would like to participate or have any questions, please contact ANZAMEMS Postgraduate Representative (AUS) Jenny Davis Barnett at j.barnett@uq.edu.au
