Contemporary cultures of writing research group

Description

The Open University’s Contemporary Cultures of Writing research group is interested in all forms of creative and academic writing, and its outlook is interdisciplinary.

Membership comprises novelists, poets, dramatists and life writers, as well as academics and practitioners in Literature, Linguistics, English Language, and Translation Studies. Its focus is on writing practices, their cultural contexts and impacts, and activities include seminars, conferences, collaborative work, and publications.

Past seminars have investigated wide-ranging subjects, including historical fiction, life writing, style, creativity and language, diversity in publishing, the rise of creative writing, and translation. The ‘past seminar series’ section of this website contains a wealth of material from previous events, including audio recordings of many of the presentations and discussions.
