Creative Writing for Academics | Story arch | 6 July
Event Information
About this event
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 lead you through a series of hands-on exercises to make you experience creative writing within your academic practice.
In this workshop of 3,5 hours, we explore ways of expressing the story of your text. The session is designed around sample texts, and includes 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 session takes place on July 6, 2021, starting at10.00 am and ending at 1.30 pm CEST (Amsterdam time).

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).
