The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop BY FELICIA ROSE CHAVEZ How to Decolonize  the Creative Classroom

Decolonizing the Creative Writing Classroom


Hosted byBMI & UNLV'S CREATIVE WRITING PROGRAM | A Business of Writing event


Moderated by Susana Ferreira The Antiracist Writing Workshop is a call to create healthy, sustainable, and empowering artistic communities for a new millennium of writers. Here is a blueprint for a workshop model that protects and platforms writers of color. Instead of tolerating bigoted criticism, imagine workshop participants moderating their own feedback sessions. Instead of yielding to the red-penned judgment of instructors, imagine workshop participants citing their own text in dialogue.
