Upcoming Events

Past Events

• Researching & Practicing Place 1 June 2022

Building on ‘Reading & Writing Place’, hosted by the Literature Catalyst at the University of Stirling in November 2021, the Creative Arts & Design Catalyst will present an afternoon of talks by practitioners and researchers who root their current projects in specific locational contexts.

• Précis Writing

This two day event restages elements of the course in commercial and précis writing followed by Muriel Spark at Heriot-Watt College in 1934. A contextualising presentation and panel discussion about the craft of writing/Spark’s editorial practice, will be followed by practical workshops based on the syllabus and textbook she used. 

• Putting Theory into Practice 

Through plenary sessions featuring three plenary speakers, and three workshops led by PhD students undertaking practice-based degrees, or recent graduates of those degrees, we will explore three strands of creative practice as informed by theory:  film and visual culture, creative writing and music composition. 

• Re-enactment in research

A series of presentations by Scottish based and international academics in a roundtable/panel format with moderated discussion focussing on the use of re-enactment as a methodology in research.

When published, all event details and registration links will be found on the SGSAH Events and Training page.
