About ClimateUEA and The Critical Decade for Climate Change (CDCC)

ClimateUEA tells our collective climate story during this critical time for our planet. For over 50 years, UEA has led the way in climate research, using its world-leading expertise to tackle the unprecedented environmental and social challenges caused by climate change. Research under the umbrella of ClimateUEA informs policy, helping shape a global response to climate change. It brings together a multidisciplinary team of experts to collaborate, innovate and discover, whilst training the next generation of climate thought leaders.

The Critical Decade for Climate Change (CDCC) programme brings together researchers to look at real-world data in near real-time to generate unique insights into why societies succeed or fail to respond to the threat of climate change. This research harnesses creative approaches to reframe ideas and communicate findings broadly, helping build the foundations for a healthy planet and a fair society for the future.

Our Summer Celebration Event

Hinterland presents… the finest voices in creative non-fiction

Was held on Wednesday 21 June 2023 - 6.30-8.30pm

National Centre for Writing, Dragon Hall, Norwich

We celebrated the summer solstice with a stellar line-up of readings from the most exciting international writers working in creative non-fiction today.

Our Issue 11 LAUNCH EVENT

We held our first live event on Tuesday 8th November 2022, to celebrate our successful collaboration with Manchester Metropolitan University’s Centre for Place Writing. We had a fantastic time, with a packed house at Manchester Poetry Library enjoying readings from contributors Adam Farrer & Alison Baxter, as well as guest readers from MMU students and alumni, and a fantastic intro from Dr David Cooper and guest editor Andrew Michael Hurley. Thanks so much to all of you who came, as well as everyone who worked with us to make both the event - and the issue - a roaring success!

Lorna Sage’s Bad Blood

The Spring 2021 issue of Hinterland celebrated a work seminal to the genre of life writing: Lorna Sage’s Bad Blood, with a collection of exclusive-to-Hinterland pieces by Christopher Bigsby, Victor Sage and Sharon Tolaini-Sage, with a foreword by Kathryn Hughes, that illuminate and respond to the legacy of Sage’s memoir, now entering its third decade of continuous publication.

In Conversation with Tessa McWatt

Back in January 2020, Hinterland editor Andrew Kenrick and contributing editor Yin F. Lim sat down with Tessa McWatt, author and Professor of Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia, to discuss her memoir Shame On Me; in a conversation which delved into racism and antiracism, the Meghan Markle effect, and the relationship between literature and activism.
