Interleaf: A Scholarly Writing Group
Wednesday, February 18th, 2026
03:30 PM - 05:30 PM
Homer Babbidge Library
Interleaf (n): a page inserted between pages of a book, often blank or supplementary; a space of connection, reflection, and addition.
Join us each week for Interleaf: A Scholarly Writing Group, meeting Wednesdays from 3:30-5:30 at Homer Babbidge Library 1102. This is a space for graduate students, postdocs, and all scholars engaged in writing and publishing to build community across disciplines, to set aside dedicated structured time to write, and to feel less isolated in the pursuit of a finished draft. Writing groups are a crucial connection point for collaborative resource, service, and expertise sharing across often siloed disciplines and perspectives.
Drop in for all or part(s) of the meeting as your capacity allows. You are welcome to stop in late or leave early.
Sign up for weekly invitations and follow-up resources to attend.Meeting Structure:
3:30-4:00: Introductions (to each other and scholarly work)
4:00-5:00: Connection through writing (generative reflective writing exercises or peer review sign-up)
5:00-5:30: Interleaf exits (expressions of interest and affirmation of someone else’s contributions)Come add your page to the story of scholarship at UConn.
