The callout: ‘How Life Gets In’

We are told that when you’re doing a PhD, ‘everything’ is the PhD … But is it? 

We are five PhD and ECR researchers engaging with practice research across poetry, prose, playwriting, screenwriting, podcasting, and essaying, and we are interested in what happens when the academy and life collide. 

How does your practice change, inform, and permeate your PhD? 

How does your PhD permeate, inform, or change your practice? 

For this special edition of Creative Matters we invited HDRs and ECRs to submit their creative and critical responses to the prompt: How Life Gets In. 

This issue is by and for HDRs and ECRs.
