What is the purpose of a writing workshop? The incredible opportunity to give and receive feedback can too often be twisted by cultural bias and capitalist definitions of value. Frequently, writers report feeling unheard, misunderstood, and downright antagonized in workshop, particularly if they hold marginalized identities. In this two hour seminar, we'll use the frameworks of wellness and social justice to design something new. Come with questions, come with testimonies, come with open hearts!
