As usual, it’s been a busy last few weeks in CA headquarters. Lots of interesting conversations, weird diagrams, black coffee and costume contemplations. A big thank you to all the clever critters who applied to contribute to our Journal; we’ll be with you shortly. Before we do so, however, we’d like to direct your attention to the following call out, aimed at Higher Degree Research Students engaged in creative writing doctorates. Applications close 28th June.
The Writing & Society Research Centre at the University of Western Sydney is hosting a four day writing program titled ‘Creative Ecologies: A Postgraduate Retreat in Creative Arts Scholarship’.
This retreat, targeted at postgraduate students engaged in research that incorporates a creative writing component and exegesis, seeks to develop an awareness of the connection between creative and critical discourses such that students can approach the writing process with more confidence while developing their skills as creative research-writers. Presentations, panels, writing workshops and writing circles will be given and facilitated by both the Centre’s academics (Prof. Ivor Indyk, Prof. Gail Jones, Assoc. Prof. Hart Cohen, Dr Mridula Nath Chakraborty, Dr Matt McGuire, Dr Milissa Deitz, Dr Rachel Morley) as well as visiting academics (Prof. Donna Lee Brien, Assoc. Prof Marion May Campbell, Dr Antonia Pont, Dr Keri Glastonbury, Prof Jen Webb).
