Creative Writing for Academics

The Berlin University Alliance (BUA) is an alliance of Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin. Together, they are pursuing the goal of creating and shaping an integrated research space in Berlin. This alliance aims to establish Berlin as a leading international science location. All workshops and events offered by the Graduate Studies Support Program are funded by the BUA and therefore free of charge.

Content

Sometimes, creative writing and academic writing appear to be two different things entirely. That’s partly because academic writing is often experienced as a rather dry and painstaking process the results of which are equally dry and painstaking to consume. However, there is a number of deep and very interesting connections between these two modes of writing. And in this workshop, you will have the chance to explore them. Doing so will not only be tremendous fun but also help you to reflect and develop the repertoire of techniques and styles that you apply in your academic writing.
