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!
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online until further notice. If there's a possibility that your class might take place in person, you will be notified in advance. Even if classes can be held in person, there will always be a hybrid option to participate via Zoom.
