Centering the Margins: Conversations with Writers of Color
330 Park Boulevard, San Diego, 92101
Cost: Free
Co-sponsored by San Diego Central Library, UCSD Library, and UCSD’s Cross Cultural Center and SPACES campus organizations, this winter groundbreaking features 30 speakers and 6 panels that will discuss the unique issues facing writers of color: from self-care strategies employed in less than diverse MFA programs or newsrooms, to depicting experiences unfamiliar to mainstream American culture, to navigating the publication process in an industry that is 86 percent white. Apart from local writers of color, participants are coming in from Chicago, Alabama, Nebraska and the Pacific Northwest to participate in the conversation.
