Hi Ady & Colleagues
Sorry I can't be with you for this one but looks really interesting. I think there is an edited volume to be had here too involving Meg (Barker) that addresses the philosophies behind the methods but crucially is also more practically oriented - a fab USP???
Ady, I think Meg could make you one of the people able to add to the Facebook page or maybe it's all free access anyway? Just go onto FB and type in Creative Methods in Research. Another way of advertising the event too.
I just know it will be a fabulous event. Enjoy, possums.
All best wishes

Subject: [CRITSEX] Creative Methods in Gender, Sex and Relating
Following on from the amazing Creative Methods in Gender, Sex, and Relating, held at the Open University and Manchester University, we are pleased to announce the next instalment at Coventry University!
Do you want to explore beyond well-used methods that reproduce established stories about sex, gender, sexuality and relating? Fancy yourself doing performance, bad sex writing or as a deep thinker, visual artist or ‘craftivist’?
Creative research methods can yield narratives different from and phenomenologically richer than interviews, focus groups and surveys. When doing public engagement and dissemination, creative methods can help people think differently about sex, gender, sexuality and relations/relating to challenge popular/media representations.
This free half-day event will encourage sharing of knowledge and experiences. It will explore among a host of other issues:
• creative writing around intimacy, desire, and sex;
• arts-based and performance practices;
• craft, activism and creative play to present narratives;
• tools for collaborative production.
Also starring the ‘bad sex media’ bingo card as a way of challenging problematic media depictions.
Booking for this event can be done here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/creative-methods-workshops-tickets-12634651583
Please find the programme attached!
Best wishes
