The presenter will begin by summarising the piece, giving the attendees a general sense of what the piece is about. A discussion will follow where attendees can ask questions and continue to unpack how this research may be applied in practice.All Decoding seminars are recorded in case you cannot attend on the day.

The sessions will be run similarly to the Shut-Up-And-Write format beginning with goal setting, followed by writing-OR-reading-only chunks, and ending with a brief reflection. If you don’t know where to start, a prepared reading list will be shared with attendees. We will encourage attendees to talk with each other, cultivating a sense of support and community.
