History Undergraduate Writing Support Centre is now OPEN!

Welcome to History Undergraudate Writing Support Centre. Our three Writing Advisers who are all graduate students in History, will be available to assist you by appointment, either in-person or virtually during the 2025- 26 Fall/Winter academic terms.

Our mission is to support all undergraduate students that are taking courses with Department of History to succeed in their history writing assignments.

Here is some important information:

• The Centre can only provide support for assignments in History courses (HIS, JHA, JHN, JHP, JIH, JSH, JAH)
• Our experienced Writing Advisers are NOT copy editors. They will give you tips and share tricks to improve your writing, and they will point out structural and citation problems, but you will be the one who fixes the problems. 
• Book early!!!
• Respect your appointment time. Students who cancel twice with less than 24 hours' notice or who are no shows, will be blocked from booking.  Remember, you can always switch from in-person to virtual if you get sick.
• Our Writing Advisors will provide both virtual and in-person support sessions. The in-person session will be held in Room SS 2065 (located in the Department of History). The link to virtual session will be sent to your email before the session.
• If you would like to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please do so at least 24 hours in advance.
• Please be mindful of your fellow classmates and show up to the appointment. By not showing up to the appointment and without proper notice, the Centre reserves the right to refuse any appointments in the future. 

Wondering how to book a session? Booking is easy. Click on the link and answer a few questions.

Please be part of our success in the History Undergraudate Writing Support Centre. We welcome all comments and feedback. Please send your comments and feedback to the History Manager.

We are looking forward to seeing and hearing from you!!!

Meet our Writing Advisers:

	Piper Hays Hi! My name is Piper and I'm currently completing my MA in History. I did my undergrad here at UofT, with a double major in History and Classical Civilizations. My research is currently focused on public education and youth activism in early Weimar Germany. My broader research interests include political and social histories in 20th century Germany and Western Europe, Canada and the two Germanies during the Cold War, and European philhellenism/Classical reception. I look forward to helping you with essays, primary source analyses, and anything in between!
	Risa de Rege Bagra Hi, I’m Risa and I’m working on an MA in history looking at popular and print culture in early modern England. I love history’s ability to connect us with people across time and place, fostering empathy and exploring our place in the human condition. My expertise is in medieval and renaissance European cultural and social history, but I’m always eager to explore new areas. I am passionate about making academic writing enjoyable (to do and to read), and I also have a background in libraries so I’m happy to help you find primary or secondary sources and make the most of UofT’s library resources.
	Thomas Vukovic Hello, I'm Thomas, an MA student in the History department. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Western Ontario, where I studied Imperial, Medical, and East Asian history alongside some work in ethics. I am currently writing a research paper on relations between the Fifth Republic of Korea and the United States. I'm also an avid supporter of public radio and Second Cup's Iced Vanilla Bean Latte. I'm looking forward to advising you with your work!
