Writing and Society Research Centre

The Writing and Society Research Centre and the Sydney Consortium offer a challenging, rigorous coursework degree combining criticism and creativity and leading to an MA in Cultural and Creative Practice from the University of Western Sydney.

The Sydney Consortium is working closely with the London Consortium to develop exchanges of staff and students, while also adapting itself to the local cultural landscape by developing links with cultural institutions from across Sydney and making use of the research strengths of UWS.

The MA in Cultural and Creative Practice mixes units related to writing and aesthetic practice with the opportunity to work with some of Australia’s leading writers, editors and critics in developing creative or critical work.

Teaching staff for 2012 will include Gail Jones, Ivor Indyk, Nick Jose, Hazel Smith and Anthony Uhlmann with guest lectures from Michael Taussig, Steven Connor, and Bruno Clément.
