Writing j ournal articles\, public lectures\, research proposals and books are part of the daily routine of students and faculty who share knowledge amongst themselves. In addition\, scholars from all disciplines contribute to th e public understanding of science and scholarship through regular contrib utions of essays to newspaper feuilletons\, trade journals and\, increasi ngly\, online media. Given that writing is one of our key concerns and ce rtainly remains our main form of conducting and communicating research \, advancing and refining writing skills among students on various levels and across academic disciplines is paramount.This course will be taught i n collaboration with the New York based writer and journalist Gaiutra Bah adur. Together\, we will explore the ways in which we ground knowledge ab out the subjects\, societies and histories we wish to represent in academ ic scholarship. We explore imaginative ways in which creative nonfiction writing can respond to the biases\, silences and shortcomings in the rep resentation of women\, the poor\, the enslaved\, the indentured\, the cri minalised\, or the disenfranchised. We’ll draw inspiration from nonfict ion writing such as Saidiya Hartman’s Lose Your Mother\, Stephen Greenb latt’s speculative Shakespeare biography Will in the World\, Amitav Gho sh’s In an Antique Land\, Natalie Zemon Davis’ Trickster Travels: A S ixteenth Century Muslim Between Worlds and Jill Lepore’s Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin.For MA students\, the seminar is a regular course\, taking place each week throughout the semester. Doctora l students\, who wish to subscribe to the course as part of their graduat e school programme (Graduate School of Social Sciences\; Graduate School of History)\, will join the course on the occasion of a block seminar (2 days-workshop on the 26 and 27 April 2019).
