Inception (2002)

We encouraged tutors from across the disciplines and roles: studio staff, theory staff, learning development, and learning and teaching (L&T) coordinators, to collaborate in order to better understand the writing needs of their students. This has proved inspirational to many across the sector, as this kind of forum for debate was unusual. In 2006, we became the internationally recognized Writing-PAD Network (http://www.writing-pad.org/wiki) and five years ago, we founded the Journal of Writing in Creative Practice (JWCP) (http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Journal,id=154/) as a showcase and discussion space for members of the growing network. JWCP is co-edited by Julia Lockheart (Senior Lecturer, CELAW) and John Wood (Emeritus Professor in Design at Goldsmiths). *The Network is now self-funding and will announce new initiatives early in 2014. Through her role as Writing-PAD Network director, Julia Lockheart has energetically maintained the international network through the Jiscmail (WRITING-PAD@JISCMAIL.AC.UK), Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Writing-PAD/219826771252?ref=ts), Twitter presence (http://twitter.com/#!/WritingPAD), and run the main Writing-PAD Centre from CELAW. There are now eleven institutions across the world hosting Writing-PAD Centres. Many of them have already guest edited the JWCP to highlight their own writings. As such, Writing Between the Disciplines: A celebration of writing at Goldsmiths, is intended to bring together writing between departments, staff and students across Goldsmiths, but also to promote the uniqueness of writing at Goldsmiths to the international Writing-PAD Network.
