This three-hour academic writing workshop is geared towards any postgraduate researcher who is actively engaged in writing at any stage of their studies. The key aim of the workshop is to discuss and pilot ways of bringing greater creativity and reflexivity into your writing.

Together we will draw across our experiences from different doctoral topics, approaches, stages, and disciplines. There will be opportunities to explore different ideas, share experiences of academic writing, as well as engage in writing activities.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the workshop you will:

• Have ideas of how to stimulate creativity
• Have a better understanding of your relationship with writing
• Leave re-energised to approach your writing in new ways, whether in terms of process, style or content

Target audience

Postgraduate researchers at all stages and from all disciplines.

Workshop feedback

• "Unpacking alternative perspectives on what constitutes 'good' or 'proper' academic writing."
• "The exercises and group sessions; the discussions; to be honest it was all brilliant."
• "Demystifying academic jargon. The task of writing from an opposing view point. Hearing others' perspectives."
