Louise Meintjes | Participatory Writing Workshop

Join us for an exploration of ways to write ethically and evocatively about vexed circumstances (slaughter, loss, trouble, secrecy, beauty) in ethnography. Bring a short piece of messy, unfinished or abandoned writing about something that gave you goosebumps in your research or the jitters in writing about it.
