Published: 3 October 2017
This project with the University of Stirling, University of Glasgow and the Scottish Book Trust looks at the systemic issues relating to production, reception and consumption of women's writing in Scotland.
Project Description
Women of Words is a PhD collaboration between Scottish Book Trust (SBT) and the Universities of Stirling and Glasgow, examining systemic issues relating to the production, reception and consumption of women’s writing in Scotland. With partners, SBT intends to create a suite of activities for the promotion and development of women’s writing in Scotland, including the possible development of a Women’s Writing Prize. The PhD will provide a research base that will inform the direction of activities and analyse their impact, through informing discussions around gender and writing in schools, public forums, and within the literary and creative economies.
