Call for Papers (Individual or Pre-formed Panels)
We invite presentations – from pedagogy, research, and practice in creative or professional writing, editing and publishing – that interrogate the numerous ways you write through … and the various pathways your work is disseminated, enabling voices (both marginal and mainstream), perspectives, and notions to emerge, form, and animate. Presentation themes may be drawn from (but are not limited to) the following:
- Experiments
- Limitations
- Subjectivities
- Exegetical obstructions, both real and imagined
- Indigenous concepts and experience
- Minority writing (disability, LGBTIQ, refugee …)
- Regional writing
- Performative writing
- Writing together, both creative and scholarly
- Uncertainty (creative, scholarly, employment)
- Professional and industrial parameters
- Austerity
- The ‘class ceiling’
- Orthodoxies
Proposals may be a work of scholarship on or about creative practice, or one engaging with the conference theme in any way or may be a creative work which incorporates a scholarly framework to be presented along with the creative element.
Individual papers will be 15 minutes long, allowing for 15 minutes of questions within the hour; three-person panels also one hour duration, including 15 minutes of questions.
Proposed papers will not be subject to peer review but there will be a discussion of publication points after the conference. Postgraduates are particularly encouraged to submit to the conference and a postgrad Masterclass will be held on the morning after the conference (28 November).
Proposals (max 200 words) should be submitted by 15 April 2019.
Call for papers has closed.
Conference Committee: Dr Sue Joseph; Dr Sarah Attfield; Professor Craig Batty; Professor John Dale; Mr Michael Stranges
