The Future of Doctoral Writing: Critical Dialogues towards a Manifesto
Event sponsored by BAAL / Cambridge University Press Seminar 2024-25 and by the Graduate School, The Open University.
In The uberfication of the doctorate, Tara Brabazon (2024) asked: “how does the doctorate transform in a university sector losing its purpose, meaning and momentum?”. Accordingly, our Seminar* and future Manifesto offer a collaborative space in which to question and propose what it means to write a doctorate in current and future times by:
· exchanging interdisciplinary knowledge
· extending understandings of what counts as a doctoral text
· generating Principles for a multi-authored Manifesto on the Future of Doctoral Writing
*Pre-Seminar asynchronous engagement on MS Teams from 25 June to 09 July. Link will be sent to those registered.
*Hybrid Seminar – in-person event at the Open University, Milton Keynes on 09 July 2025.
*Post-Seminar asynchronous engagement on MS Teams from 09-23 July. Link will be sent to those registered.
