The focus of my research is the development of creative writers’ identities in the context of HE teaching and mentoring relationships. The theoretical framework for this project draws on creativity theory and conceptions of self and identity from the fields of philosophy, psychology, psychoanalysis and sociology. Phenomenological hermeneutics informs the epistemology and is reflected in the combined methodologies of narrative inquiry and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Fieldwork is underway and is producing rich data reflecting individuals’ sense of themselves as writers. This seminar is about work in progress. It will explore and invite discussion on current iterations of the theoretical framework informed by ongoing reading and emerging data.
