Thank you, Ines B. ________ Hi everyone, The thesis writing workshop led by Rowena Murray has been booked for Friday the 13th of June from 10 to 4 pm (following the PhD conference). Rowena is an expert on doctoral research writing, writing for publications and viva preparation, so her insights will be very helpful for your thesis writing. This is a practical workshop, involving various writing activities and discussions that can be useful at different stages in writing a thesis. Topics we will cover in this course include writing to prompts for drafts and chapters, criteria for assessing a thesis, analysing academic writing, strategies for generating text, outlining, revising, social writing, making time to write, constructing a ‘contribution’ argument for your thesis, writing a 750-word thesis summary and building a repertoire or ‘tool kit’ of productive strategies for thesis writing and for other ways of writing about research for other audiences and purposes. This course involves short writing activities, all designed to help you develop your thesis and to get into the writing habit. By signing up to this course you agree to do the writing tasks and to talk about your writing in small-group discussions, to give and receive feedback on writing and to discuss your writing plans and goals. Key reference: Murray, R. (2025) How to Write a Thesis, 5th edition. Maidenhead: Open University Press-McGraw-Hill We will circulate a Teams invite shortly, please make sure that you indicate your availability (accept/reject) so we know about numbers for Rowena to organise the day.

Economics website

by Seda Erdem

Dear Team, I am excited to share that we've made some updates to our website, including the addition of a news item and an up-to-date events calendar. If you have any news or upcoming events that are not currently listed, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me (or Carl) — we would love to include your contributions! Additionally, if applicable, could you consider including the Economics website link in your email signatures? This will help direct visitors to the most current information, as the University link is temporarily outdated and requires some IT adjustments. You can find the link here: www.econ.stir.ac.uk. Please feel free to send any suggestions for further website improvements my way. We truly value your input! Don’t forget to check out our latest news item! We are also actively sharing our updates on social media to enhance our outreach - we still need to decide one for the Division. Thank you for your collaboration!

by Mirko Moro

Dear all, I am pleased to introduce Francesca Pietrangeli (CC'd here), a PhD student from the University of Tuscia, Italy. Francesca will be visiting our Division in August/September 2024 and again in March 2025. Her research focuses on integrating urban and regional indicators to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of local and place-based policies aimed at improving the local environment and quality of life. Francesca will have a desk in the School and is keen to connect with as many of us as possible. She is interested in participating in Economics Division and Behavioural Science seminars, activities, and workshops, as well as broader School-wide events. Francesca is looking for accommodation for August and September, too. If you know of any opportunities, please reach out to both Francesca and me directly.
