HOW TO BE A WRITER FROM MANY WORLDS: A FREE WRITING WORKSHOP WITH MEREDITH TALUSAN
(Eventbrite registration recommended: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-be-a-writer-from-many-worlds-a-student-workshop-w-meredith-talusan-tickets-419964363717)

Those of us with multiple and often conflicting identities have a tendency to struggle with which parts of us to tap into when we write, but it is out of these complexities that our voices can emerge. This workshop will begin with an open discussion of what it's like to write across identities, and proceed to remarks and exercises based on the needs and interests of workshop participants.
