Convenor:

Dr Helen Kara (Director, We Research It Ltd)

Abstract Details

This session is fully booked. Only participants who registered for this session with their festival booking can attend. Learn how creative writing techniques can be used in academia and at various stages of the research process. Examples will be given of methods such as stories, poems, play scripts, screenplays, and graphic novels, used innovatively in academic contexts by researchers from a range of disciplines. We will address the relevance of these methods for quantitative as well as qualitative researchers, particularly in increasing the accessibility of research to wider audiences. We will also discuss strategies for increasing the acceptance of these methods in the academy. There will be practical exercises and time for questions and discussion.
