The Quality of Academic Manuscripts, Nigel Krauth , Jen Webb , single work criticism
Draining Creativity: The Teacher-Writer in the Vampire Academy, Jeri Kroll , single work criticism

'This paper investigates the complex identity of teacher-writers by considering the nature of some of the jobs that they perform in the academy, which make them 'teachers,' 'supervisors' and 'mentors' as well as creative practitioners. These identities impact on a writer's ability to produce because they require sustained and intense interaction with students. What happens to teacher-writers who can find no time to write? Does this state of affairs affect not only their stagnating CVs, but their functioning in the academy as well? ' (The Author.)

Strange Directions for Future Research (Cultural Studies as Creative Writing), Paul Magee , single work essay
Magee offers what he calls 'three strange directions for future research' as examples of the possibilities of creative writing research: 'Kierkegaard - The Movie'; 'The Nullarbor Actually Has Trees In It'; and '19th Century Canberra'. He goes on to say that 'we're in a rare position to start addressing traditional intellectual questions as writers, with the same sorts of freedoms and licences we allow ourselves in our creative work.'

Writers Barnstorm Postgraduate Creative Writing Schools, Gay Lynch , single work criticism
'This paper will suggest that offering postgraduate university places to ...[students] returning midlife from the world of work, and carrying small publication records, won't precipitate much bad but a great deal of good, and that in any case, a diverse cohort of creative writers sits well with universities' fundamental social justice tenets.' (The Author)
