SUMMARY:Interpretation\, Curation and Engagement Workshop
DESCRIPTION:At Manchester Poetry Library\, our exhibitions have taken an increasingly formative role in research development. Rather than simply serving as a research output or an isolated engagement activity\, our exhibitions have intersected with staff and PGR’s research journeys at different stages. This session will begin with a preview of Manchester Poetry Library’s new summer exhibition curated by the Manchester Writing School’s Dr Malika Booker. We will consider practical curation skills as well as some theoretical underpinnings of a co-creative approach. \n\n\n\nThis event takes place in the Poetry Library with Martin Kratz or online\, the link for Teams is available via Moodle.

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

SUMMARY:Manchester Translation Series: Who’s Laughing Now?
DESCRIPTION:Translating humour across cultures can be a challenge. Often a literal translation of a joke from one language to another will fall flat. But is there creative potential to be found in failed translations of humour? \n\n\n\nJoin Manchester City Poet Charlotte Shevchenko Knight for a workshop which explores the poetic possibilities of jokes lost in translation. No materials or second languages are required for the session\, you need only bring a sense of humour. \n\n\n\nCharlotte Shevchenko Knight is a poet of British and Ukrainian heritage. Her debut pamphlet Ways of Healing was a winner of the 2022 New Poets Prize. Her debut collection Food for the Dead\, published by Jonathan Cape\, was a winner of the 2023 Eric Gregory Award\, and is shortlisted for the 2024 Forward Arts Foundation’s Felix Dennis Prize for Best First Collection. Shevchenko Knight is a PhD student at Manchester Metropolitan University and is based in York \n\n\n\n\nTickets

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. We co-design our research into the social and societal aspects of health and wellbeing with the people who will benefit from our studies. Our research contributes to national and international action on mental health\, disability\, dementia and neurodiversity.

SUMMARY:Manchester Translation Series: Translating the Contextual
DESCRIPTION:Poet-translators A. E. Stallings and Jeffrey Yang have worked across diverse sets of text – from ancient didactics and illustrated epics to Modern Greek activists in Stallings’ work\, to translations of Tang-Song Dynasty poets and contemporary Chinese and Uyghur activists in Yang’s work\, and much more. Beyond the textual and semantic\, how do they translate across time\, societal structures and norms\, and their varying degrees of personal proximity with the source text and its culture? \n\n\n\nIn this panel discussion\, we’ll explore how the contextual can (or cannot) be translated and what clues these poet-translators leave in their work to guide readers to a deeper appreciation of what otherwise might be a foreign\, inaccessible world. \n\n\n\nAnita Ngai is a poet and artist and a poetry MFA student at Manchester Metropolitan University. Her work bears witness on lives in between. Drawing on past lives as an engineer\, strategy consultant and marketer\, she works with different media\, including the poetic word\, data and space.

SUMMARY:March: 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:Reflecting on researcher vulnerability
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\nIn this interactive online masterclass\, we will be exploring the topic of researcher vulnerability – the physical and/or emotional harm an individual may encounter when conducting research. Whether feeling upset about participants’ emotional stories when listening back to and analysing interviews\, or anxious about how future readers might perceive more vulnerable academic writing. We will reflect on what we mean by the term researcher vulnerability\, explore when it has impacted our own research experiences\, or might do in the future\, and discuss how we can move towards an academic culture more open about researcher vulnerability. \n\n\n\nClick here to join the session and then follow the link. \n\n\n\nDr Chloe Steadman: a Methods Masterclass

SUMMARY:International Film première– The Last Shoemakers of Doon Valley
DESCRIPTION:As part of Go Global Week 2025 in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities we will be showcasing a second film premiere by current PhD student Lokesh Ghai and his friend and collaborating filmmaker Jaymin Modi. \n\n\n\nThis film is a celebration of the resilient community of shoemakers of the Doon Valley in northern India. Shoemaking involves understanding the anatomy of the foot and translating creative ideas of footwear design with attention to comfort\, the nature of materials\, and the needs of daily life and work. While exploring people’s love for hand-crafted shoes\, the film raises the question: for how long will these shoemakers be able to continue their craft against the odds of mass production\, fast fashion\, caste discrimination and recent leather politics in India  \n\n\n\nThis film screening will be of interest to a range of students and connects themes that include: Social history\, capitalism and urbanisation\, heritage\, small-scale artisans’ business\, marginalisation\, human rights\, foot anatomy\, post-colonial studies\, and slow and fast fashion.  \n\n\n\nFollowing the premiere screening there will be a Q&A with a Guest Speaker and Director Lokesh Ghai.

This is a friendly\, supportive space in which we develop critical research skills and build community. \n\n\n\nWhen and where: Thursday 6th March 2025 from 1-2 pm in Grosvenor East room 206 and on Teams\, with optional extension until 2.30pm for in-person attendees. Tea\, coffee\, juice and snacks are provided. \n\n\n\nPresenter: Ogechukwu (Oge) Okeke. Oge has a background in public health and health promotion (MSc) and is currently a PhD student at Manchester Fashion Institute\, MMU. Her PhD research unboxes the narrative that reusing clothing is all about solving environmental problems. In the quest to solve these problems\, donated second-hand clothing from Western countries are exported to developing countries like Nigeria\, which has led to significant environmental challenges and loss of capital. \n\n\n\nFormat/topic: Oge will begin with a brief introduction of her PhD research\, followed by Q&A and open discussion forum. The session aims to open up platforms for discussion around the question “Why do fashion waste crises exists?”. \n\n\n\nPreparation: There is no pre-reading for this session. \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).
