Exploring Writing with Conscience

Log in to leave feedback.
The current fraught socio-political climate is motivating nonfiction writers to engage with social issues on the page. The personal has become political, and the political has become personal. In truth, the writer has long played a role as a witness, conscience, and predictor of social change. How do we write compellingly yet responsibly about social issues? We'll discuss the relationship between the writer, reader, and subject and think about how to apply the notions of context and narrative to our work. This session will consist of a 40 minute lecture, 10 minute writing exercise, and 10 minute Q & A.
