IPDA Cymru hosts academic writing workshop and awards Howard Tanner Research Prize
June 6, 2018
The following event took place on 6th June 2018 with the theme: Air and light and time and space: Reflections on enabling academic writing. The workshop was presented by Dr Ewan Ingleby.
This workshop explored techniques for writing and presented the argument that learning spaces are characterised by liminality. They are places of change. Unfortunately, because of the busy nature of learning and teaching, we seldom get the opportunity to utilise these experiences and turn them into forms of writing. The workshop considered writing techniques and reflected on examples of writing that are characterised by strengths and weaknesses.
