DESCRIPTION:This seminar engages with emerging debates around the value an
 d danger of writing as a creative experience\, and what forms of writing a
 re valued and supported within 21st century teaching and research. Janice 
 brings together examples of the creative works and reflections written by 
 pre-service teachers as novice authors over a three year period\, and refl
 ections on the experience of researchers as writers using qualitative meth
 ods in a climate of neo-positivism. She suggests that writing that is auda
