Guest lecture by Ms Ali Parry
On 24 February, Ms Ali Parry (director of Trade Matters (Pty) Ltd and an extraordinary research scientist in the TRADE research entity) spoke to the School of Economics' Honours students on the theme: 'Writing - where science meets art'. Ali offered insights into the changing character of writing across different communication platforms. She also explored the question of whether the trend these days towards shorter and simpler writing is compatible with the university's expectation that postgraduate students deliver thorough and academically-rigorous essays, dissertations and theses. In closing, Ali shared a checklist of writings tips designed to help students prepare for and compile their upcoming assignments and projects.
The presentation to the Honours group formed part of the 'curriculum development' component of the WTO Chairs Programme at the university, which aims to build students' knowledge and practical skills in the international trade and development arenas.
