Creative Practice

Developing the work begun in Against and her article ’ Even the Ghosts: Community in the Wake’, Sara Upstone is developing two new creative practice projects that explore transformal approaches to writing, developing lyrical autotheory which combines critical discussion with autobiographical writing. The first of these, provisionally entitled Sensitivity and Responsibility is an examination of the role of contemporary fiction in questions of social responsibility and its intersection with neurodiversity. The second, currently untitled, is an exploration of questions of human-animal relationship as refracted through motifs of grief and loss.
