b'Dr Eleni Philippou, Leah Broad, Theophilus Kwek and James Watt in conversation. The Oxford Culture Review kicks off a new academic year with our Autumn event, Critical Writing! Good writing is \\u2018critical\\u2019 in both senses: as a vehicle of informed cultural opinion; and as a necessary response to fast-moving news cycles.\\n\\nAn informal discussion on the question, \\u2018What makes good academic criticism?\\u2019 This journal\\u2019s largest section is dedicated to reviews, and in this talk we focus on how to apply academic expertise \\u2013 and good, clear writing \\u2013 to works of art, literature, music, theatre, and scholarship. We\\u2019ll also hear from practitioners (active across the fields of poetry, translation, music, drama, and criticism) about how best to frame a truly constructive review.'
