Loneliness and social isolation can occur for HDR students during their candidature which can have a direct impact on their academic performance leading to some failing to complete their studies. The focus of this study is to explore the impact and benefits for SIPS participants. This study will draw from two emergent qualitative methodologies (collaborative autoethnography and netnography). Data collection involves SIPS participants writing personal reflections of the impact and benefits they perceive has occurred in relation to their involvement in the online writing sessions. This study will not only provide an understanding of how an online, writing support group assisted those involved to maintain social connections during Covid-19 but also provide guidance in relation to developing a sustainable model for future HDR students post Covid-19.
