An advanced graduate-level Creative/Critical Writing Workshop designed for those “other” creative writers and thinkers who want the (w)rite/right to employ language in original, innovative, introspective and embodied ways so as to respond to (and/or from) non-dominant locations of identity.

The class will evolve and proceed based on the interests and needs of the class members, as guided by la Maestra. Primary texts for this course are students’ own writings, supplemented by additional works—poems, essays, videos, live performances, film, exhibitions, and artwork — assigned to provoke an(other) response. In-class and take-home writing exercises will also offer students multiple approaches to arriving at their material.
