'Afters': 26 authors and a 'workshop imagination geared to writing'. (January 2014) - Cook et al, Ian
As academics, research participants and readers can now write more together online, this paper reflects on the way that a review article on the Geographies of Food was written out of online conversations between 26 authors. This process began as an emailed invitation, moved online into blogged conversations, and produced a paper that aimed to stretch the journal format to capture and continue that conversation. This was an experiment in creative collaborative writing, writing that was intended to be evocative and engaging, writing that imagined its readers not as recipients of its expertise, but as participants in its creative process.
