SUMMARY:June: Writer's Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Writers’ Retreats give postgraduate research students in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities the opportunity to devote a whole day to writing in a quiet\, structured\, and supportive atmosphere. \n\n\n\nThe retreats are facilitated by Dr Chad McDonald\, the faculty’s Senior Academic and Study Skills Tutor. Chad was awarded his PhD in History in 2019\, and he regularly took part in writers’ retreats during his postgraduate research. \n\n\n\nYou will need to arrive ‘ready to write’ but may\, of course\, bring any materials (laptops\, books\, data\, etc.) with you for the whole-day session. You may access data online\, but the retreat is a day free from active researching\, mobile phones\, or other internet access (emails\, Instagram\, online shopping\, etc.) that steals away focus and attention from writing! \n\n\n\nThere will be some short discussion around good writing practice and how to approach your writing as a professional task\, but much of the day will be devoted to writing without distraction. Whatever your writing project (e.g.\, annual report\, paper\, thesis)\, the retreat will provide a space away from your office or home in which to concentrate and reflect on the process of writing. \n\n\n\nWe hope the writers’ retreats will be a source of collegial support as you work alongside fellow PGRs who share similar goals—but also pressures and insecurities—in relation to academic writing. \n\n\n\nLunch and refreshments will be provided. Please notify us of any dietary requirements no later than 2 weeks before the date of the retreat you are attending. \n\n\n\nPlaces are limited so please email Fran Brooks if you wish to book a spot.

SUMMARY:Seminar 6.1: Please Mind The Gap: Entanglement of poetry\, ceramics and textiles

Participants will be encouraged to ponder the combination of things that bring ‘flow’ to a thing they move with during their ongoing research. \n\n\n\nPreparation: There is no preparation necessary for this session. Interested attendees are highly encouraged to read Ingold\, T. (2010) Bringing things back to life: Creative entanglements in a world of materials. \n\n\n\nIf you would like to attend: Email Loretta at 21441661@stu.mmu.ac.uk to say whether you would like to attend online or in person\, and if you have any dietary requirements (all snacks are vegetarian).

Recent work explores séance in contemporary art practice and archives of mediumship; the legacy of the Pendle Witches through the analysis of material culture and artworks; writing in development connects folk horror\, objects\, and craft within filmic landscapes.

SUMMARY:Pigs in Chinatown: A Discussion on Fiction and Film with André Forget
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening presented by the Manchester Writing School and the Pop Screen Cultures Research Group – André Forget in conversation with Reuben Martens. \n\n\n\nCanadian novelist André Forget will be reading from and talking about his debut novel\, In the City of Pigs (2022\, Dundurn Press)\, which chronicles the story of a failed musician obsessed with avant-garde art who enters a shadowy world where bohemian excess meets the avaricious interests of a real estate cabal in Toronto\, ON. \n\n\n\nAndré and Reuben will also talk about the influence of the 1974 neo-noir film Chinatown (dir. Roman Polanski) on André’s writing\, and how the filmic medium can inspire the novel writing process. They will also discuss how art is used and abused under the neoliberal capitalist system\, its role in people’s lives\, and the way narrative gives structure and meaning to experience. \n\n\n\nThe event will open with a drinks reception and a small array of amuse-gueule (alcohol-free and vegetarian / vegan options will be available). Excerpts from the film Chinatown will be screened. If you have any questions ahead of the event or for the Q&A\, please email R.Martens@mmu.ac.uk. \n\n\n\nPlease use the Eventbrite link\, below\, to sign up (free admission). \n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the author: \n\n\n\nAndré Forget was born in Toronto and now lives in Sheffield.

SUMMARY:April: Writer’s Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Writers’ Retreats give postgraduate research students in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities the opportunity to devote a whole day to writing in a quiet\, structured\, and supportive atmosphere. \n\n\n\nThe retreats are facilitated by Dr Chad McDonald\, the faculty’s Senior Academic and Study Skills Tutor. Chad was awarded his PhD in History in 2019\, and he regularly took part in writers’ retreats during his postgraduate research. \n\n\n\nYou will need to arrive ‘ready to write’ but may\, of course\, bring any materials (laptops\, books\, data\, etc.) with you for the whole-day session. You may access data online\, but the retreat is a day free from active researching\, mobile phones\, or other internet access (emails\, Instagram\, online shopping\, etc.) that steals away focus and attention from writing! \n\n\n\nThere will be some short discussion around good writing practice and how to approach your writing as a professional task\, but much of the day will be devoted to writing without distraction. Whatever your writing project (e.g.\, annual report\, paper\, thesis)\, the retreat will provide a space away from your office or home in which to concentrate and reflect on the process of writing. \n\n\n\nWe hope the writers’ retreats will be a source of collegial support as you work alongside fellow PGRs who share similar goals—but also pressures and insecurities—in relation to academic writing. \n\n\n\nLunch and refreshments will be provided. Please notify us of any dietary requirements no later than 2 weeks before the date of the retreat you are attending. \n\n\n\nPlaces are limited so please email Fran Brooks if you wish to book a spot.

SUMMARY:Using thematic and structural approaches to narrative analysis
DESCRIPTION:Please register your attendance if you would like to attend this online masterclass. \n\n\n\nMethods Masterclass Sessions are suitable for both doctoral students and academic staff. \n\n\n\nNarrative analytical methodologies provide social researchers with mechanisms and frameworks to explore people’s lived experiences. They allow researchers to gain understanding of how people experience social and material contexts from particular vantage points. Narrative can also be understood as a mechanism through which people examine their lives and render them meaningful. In this session I focus on what narrative ‘is’\, what such approaches can ‘do’ and how applying a combined thematic\, or what is said; and structural\, how it is said analytical approach provides nuanced and rigorous interpretation. I use two research examples to illustrate this – a PhD study focusing on British Women’s Retirement Migration to Spain\, and an NIHR funded study focusing on underserved populations’ engagement with healthcare research. \n\n\n\nPlease use this Teams link on this intranet page to join the session on the day. \n\n\n\nProf. Anya Ahmed: Methods Masterclass

His work has helped over 50 communities\, industries and governing bodies develop their sustainable development agendas through the application of design and craft practice-based-research. He will demonstrate methodologies that deploy different models for maker-spaces that form new insights into how ‘making is good for us’ and we use making to support healthier people and places. Topical setting for these spaces includes inclusive community planning\, circular economy\, respite care and improving natural ecosystems. \n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\nAt DoWell –Design for Health and Wellbeing Research group– we pioneer the use of collaborative creative processes from craft and design to support people’s mental and physical health and to improve products\, environments\, services and interactions for health and care.
