In the summer I was asked to write an article for Writing in Education, which is the official Journal of the National Association for Writing in education on The Boat project I am writing with Stephanie Morris, see: http://the-immigration-boat-story.com. This turned into three articles charting the progress of the project, which is even more exciting (the picture left is part of the work in progress). But now I have been asked to contribute to an exhibition and research project in Australia based on the Tampa boat story. What I am coming to realise is that research, art and collaborative creative projects are immensely fertile, challenging and relevant in this twenty-first century University environment and beyond - in fact especially beyond because it reaches a wider audience. Time to get on with work - I am writing a chapter on collaboration but I will write more of this as things progress - 'don't let your sail blow over, don't let your ship go down...' (Michael Mara).
