This Election Is Driving Me Crazy: How to Write About the State of Our State
All Levels | In this fast-paced generative workshop, we’ll discuss the potential and perils of writing about politics, particularly in this supercharged moment. We’ll look at the work of folks such as Ida B. Wells, George Orwell, James Baldwin, and others, to provide models of how to write about the intersection of the personal and political. And we’ll do an in-class writing exercise sure to enthrall and infuriate. Come ready to rumble — and reflect!
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
