Creative Writing for Academics 8 and 15 June

I always wanted to become a dancer. Instead, I became a cleaner, a shelf stacker, a suppost, a cashier, a teacher, a researcher, a writer. But I still dance.I am pioneering in the Deepening Creative Practice programme of the Tavistock Institute for Human Relations (2020-21);I am certified in creative writing from the International Writers Collective, Amsterdam (2019-21);I hold a PhD from the Asmterdam School of Cultural Analysis, University of Amsterdam (2015);and I'm the recipient of a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship (grant agreement number: H2020-MSCA-839538).MarieB.

Two-session introductory workshop  to explore a diverse and creative pallet of writing styles in academic writing practices.

The choices we make when we write have profound effects on the reality that we observe. Giving an account of our observations requires a multitude of styles of writing for achieving the greatest accuracy. Finding the most accurate style of writing for a particular purpose sometimes implies letting go of a seemingly neutral style of writing, instead embracing a plurality of voices, such as staging a dialogue or exploring a more poetic style. This workshop aims to explore what happens when we loosen up the frame of our habitual academic writing practice, inviting multi-layered stories to bubble up and become part of the conversation unfolding on the page. In these interactive workshops, I will lead you through a series of hands-on exercises to make you experience creative writing within your academic practice.In this introductory workshop spread over two sessions of 3,5 hours each, we practice writing scenes, working with sensory details, defining the main characters driving the story of our work, and staging conversations between them. All sessions are designed around sample texts, and include on-the-spot writing exercises. There will be time for peer-review, and we will take time to reflect on what it takes to make space for creativity within our academic work. The sessions take place on Tuesday 8 and 15 June, 2021. Each session starts at 10.00 am and ends at 1.30 pm CEST (Amterdam time).
