As well as the popular MLitt in Creative Writing, we also offer a research-led Creative Writing route, which may suit those who wish to pursue a particular sustained project. You can study the MRes Creative Writing full-time, over a year, or part-time over two years.

You'll create a piece of imaginative writing in collaboration with a successful, published author – either the novelist and screenwriter Andrew Meehan (One Star Awake, The Mystery of Love) or Dr. Rodge Glass, novelist, short story writer, editor and biographer of the great Glaswegian writer Alasdair Gray.

You can specialise in one of these genres:

• imaginative non-fiction
• hybrid writing

The length of your project can be negotiated with your supervisor, but will usually be around 30,000 words. This includes 5,000 words of personal reflection on your writing. Your project should show:

• understanding and consistency in your project and its accompanying critical analysis
• good understanding of the genre developed and appraised
• use of relevant and appropriate language to the genre developed and appraised
• clear understanding of narrative or other formal strategies adopted
• awareness of literary/historical/theoretical context appropriate to the project
• clarity, economy of expression, avoidance of vague generalisations
• evidence of independent thought and imagination

You'll also take research skills methods with other postgraduates in the department of English. This gives you the opportunity to socialise with students on other courses and to learn how to present your work in public. Previous MRes students at Strathclyde have gone on to notable success, such as Allan Wilson (author of Wasted in Love, Cargo Publishing, 2011), and Dr Craig Lamont, now a Research Associate in Robert Burns Studies at the University of Glasgow.

The University Careers Service can help you with everything from writing your CV to interview preparation.

The course provided a lot of freedom in terms of the creative writing which students were able to produce for assignments, with workshops focusing on tools and approaches which might help to achieve a final piece of writing.

Deborah Crowe

I applied to Interdisciplinary English Studies as I am genuinely interested in how novels are shaped by society and vice-versa...If you love English literature and how it relates to the world around us, do it!

Catching Up with Ph.D. Candidate Natalie Vaughan-Wynn

Since joining the University of Washington Ph.D. in Geography program in autumn 2020, Natalie Vaughan-Wynn has been deeply involved in research, writing, teaching and collaborations across campus. One of Natalie's doctoral supervisory committee co-chairs (along with Professor Sarah Elwood), Professor Vicky Lawson describes Natalie as "a remarkable, caring and creative scholar and a wonderful human. She is conducting deeply ethical research that foregrounds relations of respect and co-creation with native thinkers/activists and that centers crucial questions about the entanglements of federal food policy and ancestral foodways. Furthermore, both Natalie's research and teaching center questions of food sovereignty in the US. It is a real joy to work with Natalie and to learn from her wisdom, ethics and politics." These commitments have contributed to many accomplishments along the way, and this spring Natalie reflects on these and other achievements just over the horizon. Along with sharing details about publishing an article, helping to organize a symposium, presenting at a conference, and more, here Natalie also offers advice to undergraduates who may be interested graduate school or food geographies.

On co-authoring " Digital food apartheid: The uneven food geographies of Seattle in the era of Amazon " with Professor Jin-Kyu Jung in Environment and Planning F

This paper, published in March 2024, "begins by tracing our food system through the lens of racial capitalism so we can see long-standing entanglements between food, race, and capitalism with newer, digitally mediated food geographies. We see this operationalized in contemporary U.S. government food assistance programs by examining the food stamp program’s evolution from paper (coupons) to plastic (EBT cards) and then to the COVID-era implementation of the Online Grocery Purchase Program (OPP). Theorizing these programs in conversation with Black Digital Geographies scholarship is what I term ‘digital food apartheid,’ a separating apparatus that produces inequalities concerning food that are mediated by, reified through, or materialized from data or digital infrastructure." For more about this research, check out UW Bothell News!

MAPPING A DIGITAL DIVIDE IN FOOD ACCESS

On bringing the Living Breath of wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ” Indigenous Foods Symposium (May 3-4, 2024) to life

Last year, Natalie attended as a guest and "was blown away by the knowledge and commitment of those who were both engaged in research and accountable to their communities." Now on the planning committee for the event, Natalie comments "Living Breath is a reminder that - though the entanglements between 'the academy' and Indigenous peoples is historied and complex - those of us here who are attentive to these complexities can carve out space that aligns with our commitments as co-learners with our communities… the idea of research with, by, and for, rather than on/about/without. I was already connected to many in attendance, but wanted to deepen that connection. This is what led me to join; I voiced my interest, connections, and capacity to the existing core committee, all of whom I deeply admire, and was welcomed with open arms."

The symposium planning committee " is composed of Indigenous women who represent interdisciplinary academic fields of study and philanthropy in the Northwest Coast; women who are committed to Indigenous food sovereignty and environmental justice, and whose lived and scholarly experiences, personal passions, and academic research are firmly grounded in their homelands and communities." Natalie's participation is described in the following bio :

"Natalie Vaughan-Wynn (Fort Peck Assiniboine Sioux Registered Descendant) is a Ph.D. Candidate in the University of Washington’s Geography Department and is working toward her Certificate in American Indian and Indigenous Studies. Her educational path entails a G.E.D., attending the same college with her mom at the same time, and a graduate degree in Sustainable International Development from Brandeis University.

Work centered on food justice and sovereignty over the last 15 years has brought her to West Africa, where she worked with the Indigenous Hausa people to facilitate village-to-village agricultural knowledge sharing, to Oxfam, as part of a farmworkers’ rights campaign, and to a research institute engaged in international conversations around food and hunger.

Specific ways that food is part of her life include Big Leaf Maple sugaring, foraging and fishing with her husband and son, and frequently shared meals with friends and family."

On preparing a presentation for the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association Conference (June 5-8, 2024)

For this conference, Natalie's project "examines the recent expansion of the legal mechanism known as '638' authority through which Tribal Nations may assert greater self-determination over food-related programs. Six years of legislative advocacy by the Native Farm Bill Coalition has created a pathway within the 2018 Farm Bill for Nations to contract with the USDA to self-administer programs, including the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), a commodity food program relied on by 92,000 Native households. FDPIR 'commods' typically include shelf-stable, preservative-heavy, transportation-tolerant foods destined for (often) rural reservation distribution sites. Currently, 15 pilot programs are reconfiguring FDPIR to suit their specific contexts through inclusion of traditional foods, procurement from Tribal producers and more. Through visits, interviews, and archival research, I add to the growing work that describes how, despite innumerable disruptions to Native foodways, Tribal expressions of food sovereignty can be leveraged through, and outside of, entanglements with federal policy."

Natalie notes that attending the conference "will be especially meaningful to me because one of my mom’s cousins is a former NAISA President. My academic journey, which has felt circuitous at times,  feels like it is coming full circle. Of course I’m looking forward to hearing from those engaged with Indigenous-oriented research from all over the world, but I’m also looking forward to the little things, like seeing everyone’s dress and the food (maybe those things aren’t so little after all…). Though we have Sami family friends and an open invitation to join the reindeer herding that happens every summer, we’ve yet to make this happen. I’ve seen the midnight sun (my husband grew up in Alaska) but I have never been as far north as the Arctic Circle… Norway is a first for me!"

Reflections on teaching experience & professional development

"Of the 14 quarters I’ve taught or TA’d so far, half have been through the Program for Writing Across Campus . Megan Callow , the current director of this program, has become a phenomenal mentor of mine. This work, along with my job as a Graduate Peer Tutor in the Odegaard Writing and Research Center (OWRC) and my participation in a Graduate Research Cluster focused on Indigenous Writing Praxis, have given me so many opportunities in terms of professional development. Even more important, the relationships built in these spaces have opened doors for interdisciplinary collaborations. For example, I was first connected to English Ph.D. Candidate and current Humanities Washington Fellow Taiko Aoki-Marcial by Mandy Macklin , the OWRC Director. Taiko and I developed a workshop for the OWRC around decolonial writing strategies for tutors. This evolved into a workshop that we are facilitating for faculty at South, Central, and North Seattle Community College [in May 2024]."

Advice for Future Graduate Students

"I think any advice I have for potential graduate students is the same that I have for life in general. The first bit is from my Mom. She really hammered home the idea that time goes by whether you’re simply working or working towards something. The second is a Hausa proverb. I actually included this in my grad school application and it still rings true for me. It translates to “good relationships depend on feet.” Literally in Hausaland it is customary to begin the day by visiting neighbors. Here, I adapt this wisdom (so, no knocking on doors at 6 a.m.) and instead think of its essence as the idea that regular energy expenditure, even if quotidian, is required in order to be in relation."

About Postgraduate Creative Writing

Creative writing extends beyond the boundaries of normal professional journalism or academic forms of literature. It is often associated with fiction and poetry, but primarily emphasises narrative craft, character development, and the use of traditional literary forms.

A PhD level exploration of creative writing is a three-year full-time programme, where candidates delve into the complexities of literary expression, developing their own research and create projects with the goal of making an original contribution to the field.

There are more than fifty creative writing PhD programmes in the UK, and these give candidates a platform to fully immerse themselves in their ideas and take their work to the next level.

What to expect

A PhD in creative writing offers the time and space to develop personal creative methods, combined with advanced workshops, critical seminars, and guest lectures from working authors. Under an academic mentor's supervision, candidates typically work towards completing a novel, poetry collection or screenplay.

Postgraduate programmes such as these often foster a supportive community of writers and scholars, and collaboration with peers is encouraged. Graduates can expect to emerge as confident and aspirational authors, with a developed style and professional aspiration, prepared for careers in writing, publishing, academia, or other creative industries. The degree provides a pathway for making significant contributions to the world of literature through original and innovative creative works.

2024 Doti Awards Honor Graduate Students in Education and English The annual award acknowledges outstanding academic accomplishment, scholarly and creative work and service by graduating master's and doctoral students.

Chapman University has announced the recipients of the 2024 James L. Doti Outstanding Graduate Awards, the university’s highest honor for graduate students.

This year’s honorees are Katelyn Kitchens, a doctoral candidate in education , and Audrey Fong, a candidate for a dual Master of Arts in English and Master of Fine Arts in creative writing .

The Doti Awards are bestowed annually to an outstanding graduating master’s and doctoral student with a distinguished record of academic accomplishment, scholarly/creative activity and/or service. The award recipients’ names are permanently inscribed on the Doti Award trophy, which incorporates artist Nick Hernandez’s sculpture Emergence, on display in Argyros Forum. The recipients receive a desk-size copy of the trophy with a cash award of $1,000 and are recognized at their college’s commencement ceremony.

Katelyn Kitchens, Ph.D. Education, Attallah College of Educational Studies

Attallah’s faculty say Kitchens is a brilliant and exceptionally outstanding doctoral student. The faculty describes them as a highly ethical, committed and intellectually rigorous scholar-activist and teacher.

Kitchens successfully defended their Ph.D. dissertation in March 2024 on “New Ways of Being White: White Families Striving to Cultivate Antiracist Familial Cultures,” an expansive work based on a critical ethnographic study of white families committed to raising anti-racist children. The work is important, theoretically grounded and methodologically rigorous. Their chosen dissertation topic reflects their long-standing commitment to anti-racism. As a white person, Kitchens has personal experience with whiteness studies and engaging with others in anti-racist work.

Within the doctoral program, they developed a strong foundation in the theories that frame their work, including Marxist humanism, critical pedagogies and theories of whiteness. Kitchens also has strong instincts toward decolonizing and humanizing praxis. They are well recognized among faculty and peers as highly ethical and collaborative and evidence a commitment to the growth and learning of all those around them. Kitchens is especially committed to equity for racialized students and to the preservation and restoration of the cultural strengths, epistemologies and resources of historically oppressed communities.

These strengths, along with their excellent writing skills, have led to a significant record of emerging scholarship, research and teaching pursuits. Currently, Kitchens is co-authoring several research manuscripts. Kitchens has already published an impressive six publications (one is in press) and is planning a book based on their dissertation. Their scholarship is highly collaborative with Indigenous colleagues and other people of color, evidencing allyship with these communities. Kitchens’ numerous presentations at conferences and community settings exemplify a keen awareness and commitment to engage with the community beyond the academy.

Kitchens is also a gifted educator of children and adults. They have taught numerous courses in higher education, and faculty are certain that this has included challenging coursework, high expectations and humanizing pedagogy. A faculty mentor shared that conversations with Kitchens revealed their tremendous love and empathy for all peoples.

It’s notable that in a world where Indigenous communities are often wary of the dominant group, Kitchens has been invited to teach and work at an Indigenous tribal school. They recognize and value the opportunity that has been given to them and are continuously reflecting on their responsibility as a white person to that community and its peoples. Kitchens’ previous work in Montessori schools has also provided important insights into humanizing, democratic and life-giving pedagogies that inform their development. Furthermore, Kitchens has a strong social justice background. They served on the Montessori for Social Justice Board of Directors for five years.

At Chapman, Kitchens has been an active member of the Paulo Freire Democratic Project, supported guest talks and co-led teach-ins during the Black Lives Matter protests. Attallah faculty believe Kitchens is an outstanding student with a brilliant future ahead.

Audrey Fong, MA/MFA English and Creative Writing, Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences

Wilkinson’s faculty say Fong’s academic excellence and professional leadership are exceptional. She has used the dual program to set her own ambitious professional path. Importantly, Fong has used her own ongoing learning growth to contribute to the university and to the larger literary culture. She is the only graduate student who has taught Asian American Studies at Chapman University, and she’s also a graduate student instructor in English. She continues to open students to new ideas and texts and also works with Stephanie Takaragawa, associate professor of sociology, across disciplines on a variety of projects and programming.

Fong’s creative and scholarly achievements are unusually strong for a graduate student. She has presented at the Asian American Studies Conference and the College English Association Conference, in addition to others. She will present again this spring at the Asian American Studies Conference and is making a name for herself in that field. She also has a chapter forthcoming in an anthology about food and memory, an essay published in the literary journal South Dakota Review, and she’s placed several interviews with Asian American writers in Adroit Journal.

This important cultural work and her entrepreneurial spirit led Fong to found her own journal, Soapberry Review. Anna Leahy, director of the MFA in creative writing program, shared that she is awestruck by Fong’s ability to launch this project while excelling at all the other work we expect of graduate students and instructors. This project focuses on reviews of books and interviews with Asian American writers, filling a void in literary culture rather than replicating existing projects. Fong has encouraged other MFA students and alumni to read Asian American books and submit reviews for publication at Soapberry Review.

Faculty point to Fong’s mature understanding of a scholar-writer’s practice. She has a keen ability to turn conference presentations into journal publications, a professional practice that few graduate students in the humanities recognize and embrace. Also, she turns practical experience — the marketing internship with Red Hen Press and the social media work at UCI — into original intellectual and cultural production. She recognizes that her accomplishments as a scholar-writer have the power to change culture.

To continue honing her craft, Fong is entering the Ph.D. program at the University of Southern California, another program that combines creative writing and literature. Wilkinson’s faculty is convinced that will lead to even more achievement.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
