NAWE NEWS Literature Accessible’, and ‘Whose Playing Field? Creating an Inclusive Literature Sector for All Writers’. We’re asking ourselves how we can take these ideas on board in planning future work, and we look forward to sharing our plans with you over the coming months. A few other updates: • By the time you read this, our next Membership Survey will also be out in the ether: we hope to run these regularly throughout the year, so don’t worry if you miss it – there will be another opportunity! • The next NAWE conference will take place in March 2023, so watch this space for more info. • We recently participated in a British Academy meeting discussing the results of REF 2021, and the results data which will be released on 10 May. Together with the BA, we’re thinking about the most useful ways of analyzing and sharing this information. If you have any success stories you would like to share with us, please email me at s.kennedy@nawe.co.uk with ‘REF data’ in the title. • We’ll be taking part in English Shared Futures, the big conference bringing together English Literature, Language and Creative Writing, on 8/9 July 2022 in Manchester! Check out the full programme and join us at: https:// englishsharedfutures.co.uk/ And finally, we’re delighted to introduce Bea Colley as our new Participation Producer! You can read an introduction from Bea herself on p.xxx. Bea will be working with members, and with our senior team, to shape our activities over the coming months. We’re really delighted to appoint Bea, and look forward to her getting stuck in. Enjoy the magazine, and I look forward to reading all about your practice in the next edition of Writing in Education.
