Knowledge-Making from a Postgraduate Writers' Circle - A Southern Reflectory

This book seeks to disrupt the narrative about the process of academic writing and the written products which are currently valued in the university. The author uses writing as both a subject and a method of enquiry in an ethnographic deep dive into her long-term engagement with a postgraduate writers' circle in an elite South African university.
