Modes of Critical Writing 

6th Feb 2019 2:00pm-4:00pm 

This workshop is part of the Practice-based PhD Programme at Royal Holloway, which is open to alltechnē students.

Venue: 11 Bedford Square Room 1-03, London WC1B 3RF

This workshop explores different modes of critical writing practice. Here we will look at the different kinds of writing one engages with as part of a practice-based research project. We will also examine the role and formal conventions of standard academic writing. And we will explore more creative forms of critical writing practice including performance-writing, art-writing, site-writing and lyric essay. Participants will engage in writing throughout the workshop and will be invited to think about critical writing as, itself, an element of practice.

Students interested in attending this workshop should email pgrtraining@royalholloway.ac.uk, including your name and institution.
