Collaborative Goals
The goals of this group are to establish a community that exchanges works-in-progress, discusses research methods and approaches, and develops new tools for narrative writing. We aim first to continue fostering a broadly inclusive community. Since 2021, we have brought together faculty, grad students, and staff from more than a dozen different institutions in New York, most of whom have attended multiple events. We also aim to facilitate rigorous scholarly engagement that improves the quality of the academic work being done in Central New York. This aim is addressed most explicitly in our annual research seminar which revolves around sharing works-in-progress. And finally, we aim to make scholarly work more accessible by working with experts in the field of creative non-fiction to improve various aspects of narrative development including structure, storytelling, speculation, and writing practices.
