The series first ran in 2005-07 and offered discussion plus readings from contemporary writers. Those seminars were part of a widening panorama of research projects that were focused in regions as geographically and culturally diverse as the UK and Africa. A new Trans-Scriptions series ran in the academic years 2007-08 and 2008-09, supported by the Faculty New Developments Fund and constituting an important element in the activities of the recently established Centre for Transcultural Writing and Research.\u00a0 Subsequent funding was granted by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Seminar Series Fund for a further Trans-Scriptions series, <em>Cultural Tension and Creativity<\/em>, which ran 2009-2011.
