Travel Writers Online magazine blog is delighted to announce the publication of WORKING DEFINITIONS IN LITERATURE AND TOURISM edited by Sílvia Quinteiro and Maria José Marques WORKING DEFINITIONS IN LITERATURE AND TOURISM   W ORKING DEFINITIONS IN LITERATURE AND TOURISM has brought together many authors and academics who work in the area of literary tourism knowledge to provide researchers with a dictionary of terms and definitions to engage with this field of study.  The publication is now free to download.  "As part of the project, 40 experts were asked to produce a set of over 60 inputs, each defining the concept in their own way. Considering that future readers will have a wide range of backgrounds, the authors were asked to write their entries as a starting point for further research on the topic or topics to which they refer, and so suggestions for further reading are also included. This book is therefore a meeting place for researchers from around the world, wh...

In May 2023 I'll be running a workshop for supervisors of PhD researchers aimed in particular at the Director of Studies. First some headline statistics on PhDs in the UK and England in particular In England, a 3-year full-Time PhD research degree costs 4300 GBP approx. for each year, so that is 4900 EURO = 15000 EUROS in course fees alone. The UK produces 25000 doctoral completions every year. A large university in England might have 500 completions per year Grossing it about 2.4 million EUROS a year Source: Statista, 'The Countries with the most Doctoral Graduates' by Niall McCarthy, Dec 19, 2016.   Level 8 QAA Benchmark A key focus of my PhD Pack is the discipline of writing at doctoral level.

Level 8 is doctoral level work from The QAA Benchmark Guidelines (2016) Section 3.2 pp.8-9. Supervisors can u...

West Hoe Road This week we completed more fieldwork on the Millbay Residency down on the quays in Plymouth. It was an opportunity to try the new single document format for Dialogue Journaling in Google Docs and Google Drive for the first time. Some inspiring imagery from Mark and the chance to map out more of the route with Clarisse took us to the eastern-most edge of our territory so far. It was the fork where West Hoe Road becomes Redford Road, and Mayflower College stands in the upturned letter Y where the Great Western Road begins its journey south. Cawfee near the Octagon But back to the beginning of the day, for a moment. The team arrived early on Tuesday 25th April, so we had to find a plateau to sit, write and plan. Cawfee at 104 Union St, Stonehouse, Plymouth PL1 3HL was open, and only a short step from the Octagon and the entrance to the EU-funded flood defence system called Millbay Boulevard. The marshlands of Bath Street were regenerated just below the surface here and new ...
