Creative collisions: Engaging doctoral students and supervisors in creativity in doctoral writing contexts

Mr Steven Thurlow
University Services

The notion of creativity is not often associated with doctoral education -less so with academic or doctoral writing Steven discusses how a group of doctoral supervisors working in the Faculty of Arts understood the notion of creativity in doctoral writing contexts; both in relation to what it is and where it is found. Steven presented snippets from this research project and offered insights on how we might better prepare doctoral students at Unimelb with an awareness of the hidden, yet significant role of creativity holds in both the process and products of doctoral education.

This Zoom presentation was part of the Melbourne CSHE Teaching and Learning Conference 2021 held on Tuesday 1 June 2021.
