Our concept of a research community has always included students working at PhD level, as well as members of staff. Our intention now is to bring together members of that community in regular events that will inform and stimulate, whilst at the same time acknowledging and extending who we are. This is the first such event and therefore of particular significance.<\/p>\n<p>A Centre is defined by its members and their activities more accurately than by its rhetoric. It\u2019s good to see an event take shape with such strong transcultural implications and potential. Cultural complexity \u2013 both in the actual focus of research, and in the sense that interdisciplinary itself equates to a form of polyculture within academia &#8211; is strongly reflected in today\u2019s programme. A sense of exploration is inherent in a range of exciting and committed research that is truly interdisciplinary &#8211; particularly in its synthesis of practice-based and theoretical methodologies and outputs.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that new alloys \u2013 stirred by the metallurgy of events like the one you are attending and contributing to \u2013 will continue to define and bear the hallmark of our Centre.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speakers Charlotte Baker, Lecturer in French, DELC Mercedes Camino, Professor, History Sondra Cuban, Lecturer, Educational Research Corinne Fowler, Lecturer in 20th Century Postcolonial Literature, Leicester University Lynne Pearce, Professor of Literary Theory and Women&#8217;s Writing, Department of English &amp; Creative Writing Emma Rose, Professor of Contemporary Art, LICA Cami Rowe, PhD student working on the&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/transculturalwriting-archive\/programs\/creative-critical-synergies\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Creative-critical Synergies<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":173,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-948","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/transculturalwriting-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/transculturalwriting-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/transculturalwriting-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/transculturalwriting-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/transculturalwriting-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=948"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/transculturalwriting-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/948\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1327,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/transculturalwriting-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/948\/revisions\/1327"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/transculturalwriting-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/transculturalwriting-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
