Leading a creative writing workshop on Swift's Gulliver's Travels (1726) in Special Collections at Kent, writing objects and subjects big and small. Wed 28 Oct, 2pm until 4pm, Templeman Library. Email D.kavanagh@kent.ac.uk to reserve a place. #CreativeWriting #GulliversTravels

Writing Big and Small after Gulliver
A Creative Workshop
Dr Swift
First published in 1726, the first two books of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels turn on a single trick played in opposite directions: shrink the world around its narrator, and even the smallest objects and gestures of Lilliputian court life become petty and absurd; leave him ordinary-sized among the giants of Brobdingnag, and the plainest objects, and the bodies of the people who use them, become overwhelming, even repulsive, at close range. This workshop invites participants to think about their chosen objects or subjects in both big and small ways, using inspiration from the Special Collections holdings to write other worlds into existence.
Date: Wednesday 28 October 2026
Time: 2.00pm - 4.00pm
Venue: Special Collections & Archives, Templeman Library, University of Kent,
Canterbury
Led by: Dr Declan Kavanagh
Places limited - materials provided - all levels welcome
To reserve a place, email D.kavanagh@kent.ac.uk

SAVE THE DATES! HUGE news everyone! We’re delighted to share that our popular Winter Conference event is returning in 2026!

Proudly sponsored by CHASE (AHRC), the third iteration of the MEMRN Winter Conference will take place from the 12th - 15th November at the University of East Anglia in Norwich. We’re so excited to finally reveal ‘Otherworlds’ as this year’s exciting conference theme.

Join us between the 12th & 15th in person and online for several joyful days of panels, social events, workshops, networking sessions, and adventures in our historic city. Arrival activities will take place on Thursday 12th November, with the following three days dedicated to the exploration and exchange of our community’s incredible academic knowledge.

If you’ve previously attended one of our events, you’ll know that this promises to be a brilliant time; full of supportive academic dialogue, socialising with like-minded peers, and plenty of laid-back fun too. Don’t just take our word for it, though - swipe to see what last year’s delegates thought!

Everyone is welcome: whether you’re a current researcher, a creative practitioner, working in heritage, or simply a huge history enthusiast - MEMRN is always proudly open to all.

This year’s Call for Papers will be available via the MEMRN website and on our social media from Tuesday 4th August. The deadline for submitting an abstract will be midnight on Friday 25th September.
