It could be argued that conforming to what has been
interpreted as normal or standard academic processes
and procedures has numerous advantages. For example,
orthodox grant bids may be perceived to have a greater
chance of attracting funding, PhD theses may be
perceived to have a greater chance of being approved,
and academic papers may be perceived to have a greater
chance of being accepted for publication by the top
journals. But is this really the case? And what impact
does this have on our creative potential? Using a
series of stimulating exercises, this highly
interactive, experimental and visual workshop will
explore issues related to creativity, potential
threats to achieving and using creative approaches in
our everyday work and lives, and, most importantly,
how to prepare and present material that meets both
orthodox requirements but still values and expresses
elements of imagination and creativity.
