Ditching the 'Objective' Voice: Creative Directions in Law and Emotion Research

Associate Professor Kate Rossmanith in conversation with Professor Kathryn Temple (Georgetown University)

Wednesday 9 November, 11.30am-12.00pm AEDT, 11.00am-12.30pm ACDT

Finders University, Adelaide (in-person and online via Teams)

For 25 years, scholars have sought to understand the role that emotion plays, does not play, and is expected to play, in the law. This in-conversation event -- a lively discussion between two scholars -- explores what happens, or might happen, when different writing voices (and positionalities) are adopted by law and emotion researchers. It considers the epistemological role of narrative and language forms (structure, voice, rhythm, lexicon, cadence) in accessing new understandings of affect in legal processes. What gains and losses accrue when scholars ‘ditch’ the objective stance? Kathryn Temple and Kate Rossmanith have been exploring these questions in their respective research; their combined expertise spans literature, history, creative nonfiction writing, law, criminology, anthropology, and performance studies.

The director of the centre Associate Professor Tom Murray, and deputy directors Professor Bronwen Neill, Associate Professor Kate Rossmanith, and Dr Karen Pearlman invite HDRs from across the faculty to a workshop to learn more about the Creative Documentary Research Centre, about creative arts research methods and how we can support your work with them, to meet peers and strengthen your collegial community, and to learn about the grants in aid of HDRs the CDRC are planning to award in 2022

The workshop will cover:

• who we are and what we do - with short presentations of some of the methods, practices, and award-winning outputs from centre members and directors
• who you are and what you do - facilitated discussions amongst attendees to find out about each other's work and develop an HDR entity with its own website that is attached to the CDRC
• resources of the centre - what kinds of expertise and equipment may be available to you, and
• grants - the forms & process of applying for one of our new grants in support of HDR work
• beer and pizza - well that is not really a topic, but we shall, nonetheless, provide it at the end of the workshop!

This is an in-person only event this time around, however, you may send an email to cdrc@mq.edu.au to register your interest in future events or opportunities and we’ll keep you posted!
