While the end goal for higher degree research students is the production of a lengthy thesis and academic publications, the process of teaching and learning the production of academic writing is often times overlooked. The aim of this workshop is to introduce qualitative higher degree research students in HASS to creative academic writing practices. The overall aim is to consider, “What might be the work of creative academic writing as inquiry in ‘post’ qualitative research?”
