Creative Writing for Academic Purposes: Impulses from Feminist, Postmodern, and Black studies

This workshop aims to help students improve their academic writing through the principles of creative writing. In particular, creative writing can help manage two unwieldy and often overlooked components of the scholarly paper: the first-person subject and narrative or story. The workshop aims to hone several structural and stylistic skills so that participants can feel more confident in their ability to write well.
