About the webinar
At the core of humanities research is an exploration of human experience and culture. Inevitably, therefore, researchers may wish to express their own “voice” while still conveying an impression of scholarly impartiality. This is a fine line to tread!
In this webinar, we consider the optimal style, tone and register for humanities research, addressing topics such as the grammatical first person and how humour should (and should not!) be used. Finally, we ask whether the distinction between “objectivity” and “subjectivity” really carries much weight in today’s ever more interdisciplinary world of research.
The webinar is about 45 minutes long. The final 10 minutes were set aside for live Q & A.
