Many academics working within the arts and humanities need to think critically about historical or contemporary societies: challenging power structures and providing radical reimaginings of normative ideologies. But what is the role of the arts and humanities in challenging social and political issues? How can academics best develop their critical voice? And how can they make an “impact” outside the academy through critical research, whilst still acknowledging the problems with the current impact agenda in HE.
This free day-long workshop aims to provide doctoral students with the opportunity to present their current research in an inclusive and collegiate environment and explore interdisciplinary approaches to thinking critically about societies. The event will focus on the ways in which we in the arts and humanities can offer a challenge to a range of social issues and inequalities (including the structures in which we research and teach), the methods we can deploy and the relevance this has to the world around us. In this way students will be able to discuss and develop strategies for critical and radical work in the arts and humanities as well as share perspectives from their own research.
