What happens when a researcher wants to publish differently?: A vision of the possibilities – Cabaret as academic discourse with Dr Geof Hill, Thursday 23rd March, M218 Mithras House

Dr Geof Hill

Birmingham City University

 Thursday 23^rd March, 5pm

Mithras House, room: M218

Geof will present his cabaret which was presented last year at Birmingham City University, Dublin City University and Oxford Brookes University.  The cabaret runs for forty minutes and there will be time for questions and discussion following its presentation.

Dr Geof Hill is currently a Reader in Education at Birmingham City University and previously held academic positions in several Australian universities both in Education and Business faculties. Geof has also worked as a Management Consultant for the past thirty five years.

Since his own doctoral inquiry in 2002, in which he wrote and performed a cabaret on ‘Doing a Doctorate’, Geof has championed a cause for supporting researchers who want to undertake and publish their research differently. To this end in 2013 he wrote a cabaret which argued for and modelled alternate forms of research publication. This cabaret was launched at the Inaugural Storytelling Conference in Prague in 2012 and performed again at Birmingham City University in 2013 and at the International Quality in Post Graduate Research Conference in Adelaide, Australia in 2014.  The cabaret is the subject of his practice-led inquiry published in the Action Learning Action research (ALAR) journal in December 2015.
