We encourage each other to (re)fuse: a writing workshop on queer and decolonial practices for liberating participatory inquiry

This interactive half-day workshop is for politically engaged researchers and writers who seek to address the root causes of socio-ecological injustice, and who work with/in modern/colonial knowledge institutions and systems. Please join if you have an inkling that this might be you!

During our time together, we’ll move through a flow of ‘thinking-feeling’ writing exercises and creative conversations. These will help us explore different ways of relating with institutional conditionings, queer conditions that limit our approaches to inquiry, and transmute binary ways of being into more relational ones. The idea is to make space to refuse habits that harm and re-fuse with the wider field of life-bearing realities.

This workshop is co-organized by ARCIO and SPICE in collaboration with Dr. Sarah Amsler, who will facilitate online.

The writing workshop open to ARCIO and SPICE members (including doctoral researchers), and other members of the University of Bristol and extended networks who are interested in de-institutionalizing and queering knowledge practices and sensibilities.

This event will be most beneficial for people who are working on writing differently, and/or who draw on (or wish to increasingly draw on) feminist, participative, queer, and/or decolonial approaches in their work, and as spaces are limited, priority will be given to them.
