1 Doing Collective Biography Differently by Incorporating Methods of Narrative Inquiry, Poetic Inquiry and Performance Studies into the Analysis of Writings-as-data Chloe Cannell , Elena Spasovska , Yuwei Gou , Alice Nilsson , Rebekah Clarkson , Corinna Di Niro , Nadine Levy , Amelia Walker , 2020 single work criticism
— Appears in: TEXT Special Issue Website Series , October no. 59 2020; 'This article reports on methods used to analyse creative writings as data in a collective biography research project undertaken by eight academics. All of us bear broadly feminist and/or queer outlooks, and all experience deep dissatisfaction with neoliberalism’s deepening on academia. We came together to witness shared struggles and imagine things otherwise. As outlined in Doing Collective Biography (Davies & Gannon 2006), collective biographers respond to themed writing prompts in a group workshop setting. The writings become data that the team analyses to generate, enrich and transform knowledges around the research theme. We followed these processes, but did collective biography differently by additionally incorporating analysis methods of narrative inquiry, poetic inquiry and performance studies. This article discusses the benefits and challenges these methods offered. Our objective is to share our learning with other researchers interested in pursuing similar projects.'

1 Becoming-game : An Assemblage of Perspectives on Challenges for Early Career Academics in Neoliberal Times Corinna Di Niro , Amelia Walker , Alice Nilsson , Rebekah Clarkson , Yuwei Gou , Elena Spasovska , Nadine Levy , Chloe Cannell , 2020 single work drama
— Appears in: TEXT Special Issue Website Series , October no. 59 2020; 'Our script Becoming-game is an assemblage in the spirit of Deleuze and Guattari’s (1987) concept of the assemblage as a contingent formation of elements that could equally be separate, differently formed and/or combined with other things altogether. It comprises fragments of our distinct creative writings around the theme of games from a collaborative creative writing research project in which we – eight academics from differing backgrounds, all bearing broadly feminist and/or queer outlooks – came together to share and compare our experiences and perspectives with the aim of realising strategies we can engage to resist inequality in and beyond academia today. Performing our assemblage enriched our appreciation of the multiple themes running in and across our writings – and thus of the complex games played in and through neoliberal academia. Theatre researcher and practitioner Di Niro directed our collective in translating the creative piece to a theatrical medium. We performed Becoming-game at the JM Coetze Centre’s ‘Scholarship is the New Conservative’ Symposium on 6 September 2019. Overall, this collaborative work speaks to games of power and privilege, especially although not only those of gender and late capitalist modes of production.' (Publication abstract)
