1. WriteFest 2020 | Throughout November
As we go into Week 2 of WriteFest there are lots of opportunities for you to get involved and celebrate academic writing.
You can participate in a number of different ways – from workshops on specific aspects of writing and publishing, to less formal café conversations about academic writing to time and space to be more productive and focussed
Coming up on 11 November is the next event in the SHU virtual Creative Writing seminar series – Stephen Sexton: Times of the Image: Contemporary Ekphrasis. Further information on this event and the virtual seminar series can be found on the Creative Writing Seminar series link
You can see the calendar of events on the WriteFest pages on the Doctoral School Blog site and follow our Twitter feed @SHUDocSchool.

2.‘Transmission’ Event | Tuesday 10 November | 1630 – 1800 GMT
Speaker: Sarah Smizz
Host: Rose Butler | Respondent: Sharon Kivland
“To transmit is to transfer, from communication, action sending a message, to radiant energy that passes through a substance like in radiotherapy. In this talk I will discuss how the act of transmission underpins the values and hopes of my practice – to help reveal the invisible, to draw out information and power imbalances, to use art practice as a tool to enact actions of radical care”.
