Shut up and read! Shut up and write!

During a Shut up and read! Shut up and write! meeting you put aside everything unrelated to your work and focus on getting your reading or writing done. You work together with other students, switch off your mobile phone and read or write intensively for two hours. To aid concentration we use a version of the Pomodoro method: we work for 45 minutes and then take a 15-minute break. During the break, you can share reading and writing tips with other students and get advice from one of the Academic Writing Service’s consultants.

Our Shut up and read! Shut up and write! meetings are held in Swedish and English and they are open to all students at Stockholm University and the Swedish Defence University.

The dates and locations for our Shut up and read! Shut up and write! sessions for the autumn semester 2024 will be announced at the beginning of the semester.
