CEE Reading Group: Petroleum Archives
Session 4: Petroleum Archives
During the first 30 minutes, the group will discuss readings based on pre-circulated discussion questions. During the second 30 minutes, participants will spend silent time crafting a creative response (e.g., drawing, collage, knitting, poetry, etc.) to the readings, a process inspired by the “Extracts” reading group at UCD Humanities Institute. During the final 30 minutes, participants will share and discuss their creative responses.
Sessions will be moderated by Dr Camille-Mary Sharp and/or guest moderators.
