This unit is designed to give participants a critical awareness of writing as a research method. The unit will explore, review and practice creative, evocative, poetic, experimental and engaging writing strategies as legitimate re-search sites. Fictionalised and creative research accounts, layered accounts, and poetic narratives will be included as examples within a range of written re-presentation methods. There will be opportunities to participate in critical reading groups and writers workshops and improve writing strategies and critical capacities.
