Reflective Writing in the Year of Covid-19 William Maynard, Julia Hill, & Dr Abigail Winter SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH Dr Abigail Winter ABSTRACT This research reports on a study conducted during 2020 on the reflective writing and other mindfulness techniques used by a cohort of Griffith Honours College students who had attended a reflective writing workshop. KEY WORDS Reflection, Writing, Sensemaking, Covid-19 INTRODUCTION In April 2020, the third author ran two workshops for students of the Griffith Honours College, titled Reflecting for sensemaking in times of uncertainty. The first and second authors attended the workshop, and when an opportunity arose a few months later to undertake a paid research bursary on the topic, they applied and were successful. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this research were two-fold. First, the students involved wanted to gain skills in literature review, survey development, and data analysis. If they could also achieve an academic publication from the project, that would be a bonus. The second research goal was to investigate the impact of the Reflective Writing During Covid-19 workshops on the Honours College students who attended.
