<td>REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
<p>Melville Room, University of Glasgow, 11th and 12th June 2010
</p>
<p></p>
<p>Determining Form is an international two-day conference being
held at
the University of Glasgow on 11th and 12th June 2010. The conference
will provide writers and researchers across varying disciplines an
opportunity to discuss a range of topics relating to contemporary
creative non-fiction.
</p>
<p>Creative non-fiction encompasses a wide range of genres,
including biography, autobiography, travel writing, memoir, journalism
and essay writing. Determining Form is interested in how these genres
allow authors to investigate literary spaces with a focus on the
journey rather than the destination, facilitating the exchange of ideas
and a writing process that embraces potentiality rather than
reinforcing established modes of expression.
</p>
<p>Postgraduates and scholars are invited to join us at this
unique venue to meet and discuss theories of creative non-fiction, its
impact on academia, its history and its future.
</p>
<p></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Confirmed speakers include:
</p>
<p></p>
<p> Kapka Kassabova – Poet, journalist and author of the
acclaimed Street Without a Name
</p>
<p>Sarah Bakewell – teacher, curator and author of the acclaimed
How to Live: A Life of Montaigne in one question and twenty attempts at
an answer
</p>
<p>Rodge Glass – teacher, musician and author of Alisdair Gray: A
Secretary’s Biography, which won the Somerset Maugham award in 2009.
