Arts Based Writing & Research
Spring School Malta Arts based Writers and Research Colloquium
May 9th – 15th 2019
New Approaches to Academic Writing & Research in Expressive Arts
The Arts, Health & Society Division of The European Graduate School EGS is excited to announce the Pilot Project of a new Program on academic writing and research within Expressive Arts.
In writing and research in the field of Expressive Arts we often face challenges to articulate subjective aesthetic experiences and to communicate and transform them into adequate language and accessible knowledge. The multiple art disciplines demand qualities here that most traditional writing and research methods cannot capture. With this Colloquium we offer and provide a supportive and professional environment for your academic writing and research development in the field and for the exploration and application of new tools.
Facilitators:
Margo Knill, Dean of the Arts, Health & Society Division, and Sally Atkins, Professor Emeritus from Appalachian University — these two leading, well-known and experienced writers and core faculty member of the EGS will guide the new format.
As main faculty of this Colloquium, we feature Thomas McLaughlin, Professor Emeritus from the English Department of the Appalachian State University, who is an expert in 'low risk writing’.
Jacques Stittelmann from L'Atelier Switzerland is invited to share his expertise in the field of Expressive Arts research.
What is the Colloquium for?
Whether you need or want to get started, to progress or complete your project, this colloquium is designed to improve your writer's skills and to find your own style. It serves as an opportunity to move away from daily life and to get nurtured and inspired by professionals and peers, and to gain new perspectives.
