Creative Nonfiction and the Genre of the Thesis with Robyn Ferrell
Sunday, May 26 12–1am UTC
This talk looks at how writing techniques taken from creative non-fiction might help in constructing a thesis that is in sympathy with creative research but which at the same time meets the genre demands of academic submissions. It looks at how one can use biographical and personal material alongside reportage and analysis, to produce a cogent and vibrant accompaniment to the creative project.
