[HKU Sociology] RPG Writing Retreat (July 2025) & Sharing by Dr. Yujing Fun and Dr. L.T. Tsang

21 July 2025 at 3:00:00 am

Writing retreat: the aim of a structured writing retreat is to use dedicated writing time to progress our writing projects in a supportive, non-surveillance environment. Example projects include book/thesis chapters, journal articles, research proposals and reports.

We use most of the time for writing, all of us in the same room. Brief scheduled discussions between writing slots often generate solutions to writing problems, develop drafts, lead to research-orientated conversations and provide feedback on writing in-progress.

Dr. Yujing Fun and Dr. L.T. Tsang, Part-time Lecturers at the Department of Sociology, will be sharing their tips on academic writing and research in an interactive setting.

**This event is exclusively open to fellow early career scholars and research postgraduate (RPg) students under the Faculty of Social Sciences. Pre-registration is required.**
