Item 2:

Writing differently retreat

Monday 27th June-Weds 29th June 2016

Organisers: Sarah Gilmore, Nancy Harding, Mary Phillips & Alison Pullen

The Upper House, The Green, Barlaston, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, ST12 9AE. [https://www.theupperhouse.com]

We have held two Writing Differently events at the Universities of Bristol and Bradford in 2014 and 15, at which we explored possibilities of breaking out of the constraining, scientific style of writing that dominates in academia. This year we are organizing a ‘writing differently’ stream at the 2016 Gender, Work and Organization conference in Keele. Prior to this we are organizing a two-day writing retreat at the Upper House hotel in Barlaston, just outside Stoke on Trent in the UK. The aim of the retreat is to engage in writing differently, with the view to getting our work published in a range of relevant journals and books. You don’t need to be participating in the stream in order to attend the retreat – or to have attended either of the two events, but email Nancy Harding (address below) if you would like details of what we have been exploring. If you are interested in writing in ways that lie outside the format of journals and many monographs etc. then this retreat will appeal to you.

The costs of the retreat are £250 per person, which includes full bed and board at this lovely hotel. If you would like to attend, please send a short outline of your plans for the retreat to Sarah Gilmore (sarah.gilmore@port.ac.uk) and Nancy Harding (n.h.harding@bradford.ac.uk) by Friday 18th March 2016. Places are very limited. If you have any queries about the event, please email Sarah Gilmore. For those of you who cannot make this northern hemisphere event, Alison Pullen is hosting ‘Leaky Writing’ at Macquarie University, Sidney on 30th November 2016. For more details and to reserve a place, contact Alison (alison.pullen@mq.edu.au).

Item 5:

Scrawls from Scossy

My little claws are worn and chipped from writing to so many fabulous people looking to visit me this summer in Uppsala. But I'm now sitting looking at the inbox - will anyone care enough to write me back? At present all I can do is gaze longingly at the screen. Still, I am warmly ensconsed indoors with plenty to entertain me as Thomas and David scurry around making plans. Meanwhile I can approve their efforts and dream of the balmy days of friends and sunshine ahead!
