DeathWrites Transmission Symposium
We'd like to invite you to join us at Adelaide Place, or on Zoom, for an evening filled with thought-provoking discussions and engaging readings of writing about dying, death and bereavement. This symposium celebrates the DeathWrites Network, a project funded by the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and supported by the Royal Society of Edinburgh, The University of Glasgow Arts Lab and the Glasgow End of Life Studies Group. The DeathWrites Network runs 2022-2024, and is dedicated to developing and supporting 30 Scotland-based writers from across disciplines and genres to write and publish powerful, accessible creative work. The work produced from the two-year project will serve as resources for other individuals, communities and writers to expand thinking, understandings and activism around dying, death and bereavement.
With a panel of invited speakers, and a range of readings and performances by Network members, the evening will be stimulating and inspiring. We are also excited to be sharing our first collective Network publication. We hope to see you there!
DeathWrites, led by Dr Elizabeth Reeder, Dr Naomi Richards and Dr Amy Shea, started at the University of Glasgow in 2017 with a series of reading and writing workshops. Since then, the team have held a number of symposia to act as catalysts for writing on dying, death and grief, and established the DeathWrites Network, administrated by Research Assistants Carrie Foulkes and Niamh Gordon.
