Hi Jackie,
Good to hear from you on this one!
Unfortunately, as with much with AHRC on creative writing, there is a
need to catch up to what has been going on for the past dozen years
or so in doctoral study of creative writing, and research in the
field generally.
The AHRC has not listened quite hard enough; and now needs to do so.
Going over old ground - as the November event did, and some other
events still do on a regular basis - is a problem, and doesn't
recognise the great strides forward that have been made.
And I say that having been the AHRC's Peer Panel representative for
Creative Writing last year!!
There is genuinely 'the will' at the AHRC, and that is laudable.
But there is a need to get a great many people up to speed on what
has been going on. Research in creative writing has moved on a long
way. . .
all best wishes
Graeme
