Writing Wellness
Workshops
Writing Wellness Workshops support graduate students, scholars, and upper-division high school students. Workshops are rooted in research in the history of feminist ethnic studies writing practices. We address mental health, creative process, and trauma-informed methods as part of writing practices.
