How does practice-based research with a focus on body-based knowledges and insights help to concretise the felt experience of socio-political themes such as commoning, power, and relationality? How can we use embodied, experiential techniques to better articulate how we relate to ourselves, to each other and to systems of power? Can practice-based research help us to do differently, not just say differently? A one day symposium hosting practical labs on a variety of embodied practice-research approaches.

Complex ideas and abstract concepts can be expressed clearly and in language that’s attractive to all interested readers. This session is for students who aspire to write clearly and elegantly in their discipline and who would like to develop their style.

Writing time is precious. It's also often either interrupted or wasted at least in part in procrastination. This workshop is an opportunity to review our own writing habits; explore and practise writerly techniques that can help use precious writing time more efficiently; set up realistic and imaginative daily routines; and analyse when it’s best to ease off and when to press on.
