Loosening Our Tongues

Maimuna Islam

Abstract

The creative writing program through its theory, pedagogy, and praxis in workshops has resisted the inclusion of lived experiences of politically active radical minorities. To mitigate some of these exclusions, I restructured a traditional workshop to integrate critical race studies by including nonwhite writer-activists and writer-centered social movements countering dominant white discourses.
