SUMMARY:Writers’ Retreat with Chad McDonald
DESCRIPTION:In-person only in GE 2.06. \n\n\n\nWriters’ Retreats give PhD students in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities the opportunity to devote a whole day to writing in a quiet\, structured\, and supportive atmosphere. The retreats are facilitated by Dr Chad McDonald\, the faculty’s Senior Academic and Study Skills Tutor. You 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. There 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. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

SUMMARY:Kathryn Hurlock: Writing for Trade Audiences
DESCRIPTION:GE 2.06 and on Teams. \n\n\n\nThis workshop offers the opportunity to think about how to write about your research for public audiences and how to go about getting published with a trade press. Kathryn Hurlock is Professor of Religious and Military History. In 2025 Kathryn’s book Holy Places: How Pilgrimage Changed the World was published with Profile Books. In this book\, she follows the trail of pilgrimage through nineteen sacred sites – from the temples of Jerusalem to the banks of the Ganges\, by way of Iona\, Lourdes\, Amritsar and Buenos Aires – revealing the many ways in which this ancient practice has shaped our religions and our world. Kathryn will share wisdom from her experience of writing and publishing this book\, and you’ll have an opportunity to think about how you might pitch your research for a public audience.

SUMMARY:DoWell Co-design Lecture Series 2025-2026: Session 3. Co-Designing Through Play: Remixing Ideas\, Stories\, and Systems
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Sylvester Arnab is Professor of Game Science and Ludic Design at the Centre for Postdigital Cultures\, Coventry University\, specialising in playful and remixing-based approaches to co-design\, storytelling\, and collaborative problem-solving. \n\n\n\nTopic: This interactive lecture and hands-on workshop explores co-design through the lens of playful thinking and remixing practice. Drawing from the Remixing Play framework and the What’s Your Story? empathy cards\, participants will experience how play can be used as a method for co-creating meaningful\, inclusive\, and contextually grounded solutions. The session introduces the principles of remixing play\, i.e.\, reimagining familiar games\, rules\, and narratives to address real-world challenges\, and demonstrates how storytelling and game design can foster empathy\, creativity\, and collaboration within diverse teams. Through a fast-paced\, collaborative activity\, participants will form small groups to co-design a prototype for a playful experience or game using prompts from both card sets. By the end of the session\, they will have hands-on insights into how co-design can empower communities to reframe challenges\, connect perspectives\, and imagine new possibilities through play
