This one-day event will reflect on the teaching of post-millennial literature in HE and FE and interrogate the use of digital and social technologies in teaching, assessment and creative writing to offer this emerging field as a new and directional source of understanding and inspiration for contemporary students, scholars, publishers and authors.
E-readers and e-books have already changed the ways in which we consume and experience literature. But should readers be given the choice of both printed and electronic formats – or is the book set to become the vinyl of the twenty-first century?
Uniting for the first time scholars, students, writers, readers and publishers, this unique symposium will reflect on uses and impact of digital platforms on the production, consumption and uses of literature in HE and FE to offer the emerging field of twenty-first century writings as a new and directional source of understanding and creative inspiration.
The symposium will be staged as part of a wider C21 conference by the University’s Research Centre for Twenty-First Century Writings.
