Writing Culture Summer Institute

The Writing Culture Summer Institute is both a workshop and a gathering, where we engage in imaginative and ethnographic writing together to discover cultural meanings and develop new approaches to cross-cultural insight. The Institute welcomes writers of varied genres and levels of experience--teachers, students, fiction and nonfiction writers, poets, journalists, and cultural workers in anthropology, folklore, social service, and other fields. Nationally recognized visiting faculty lead morning workshops devoted to generating and deepening writing, and to considerations of craft, cultural documentation, and the power of story. Afternoons, participants continue writing in solitude or join faculty-led response groups. These sessions critique new work as well as address ways to move the practice of writing culture into classrooms and work settings, and build a new world.
