Writing as Advocacy
March 28-29, 2024. Event has passed.
The spring 2024 RDE workshop for graduate students in the humanities and humanistic social sciences will focus on writing as a tool for advocacy of various forms. Through a series of writing workshops and discussions with an array of humanities practitioners, this event will explore ways that graduate students can use their most well-honed and readily deployable skill — writing — to achieve a variety of ends across the graduate school experience, both on campus and off. Students participating in this workshop will be invited to think capaciously about writing, community and the role of the humanities PhD in the contemporary world.
From Climate Anxiety to Climate Action
February 29, 2024. Event has passed.
Faculty Books Celebration keynote speaker Nicole Seymour led a two-hour writing workshop on writing in an age of major climate upheaval. Seymour guided participants in considering how and where they can take action, identify local resources and opportunities for meaningful impact and use writing to build collectives around the issue of climate change. Echoing Seymour’s own eclectic approach to environmental humanities, the workshop also included time for slowness, reflection, deliberation and fun.
Artistic Research in Academic Work
Fall 2023–Spring 2024. Application deadline has passed.
WashU’s Center for the Humanities and Tyson Research Center invited WashU humanities graduate students to participate in artistic research at Tyson’s fascinating site, which includes remnant structures from WWII built into the wooded landscape, and which will culminate in a two-day on-site workshop-gathering on April 26 and 27. The participation will include on-site meetings, individual project development with guidance, a publication opportunity, as well as exposure to the field of “Artistic Research.” The intention is to generate community among researchers from different branches of humanistic inquiry, for whom creative practice can provide a methodologically necessary complement to their critical and intellectual work.
