Field Studio

A Place for Writers: Online and On the Isle of Mull

This class awakens our creative voice and shows us how beautiful writing can reflect rich ethnographic research and theoretical rigor.

Working on writing is also working on thinking; I never would have arrived at the insights I did without this course.

CREATIVELY was the perfect space for me to hone my writing skills as I set off on revising my book manuscript. 10/10!

Field Studio offers classes (both online and on the Isle of Mull) for writers of different levels and backgrounds seeking to hone their craft. We work with, amongst others, academics who would like to integrate more creative elements into their writing, writers who hope to bring nature and research into their creative work, and adults, teens, and children encountering creative writing for the first time. Field Studio provides a place for dreaming the world into language.

This course is for academics who would like to learn how to write more vividly within their academic writing: books, articles, and essays. You will learn how to more richly write scenes (interviews, observations, setting and place) from your fieldwork with a fiction and creative-nonfiction writer, and consider sentence structure and image with a poet. You’ll also learn how to enact theory within lyrical and narrative writing. Ultimately, you will bring these techniques into your own academic writing to both move your readers and reach a broader audience. This five-day course (maximum 12 places) will meet once a day for three hours, including breaks. It will include feedback on your writing. The course may be rescheduled if spaces aren’t filled; full refunds will be an option for those who choose not to reschedule.
