Presented by the Inspired Writers Series of the Fairfield University MFA Program and College of Arts & Sciences, in collaboration with the Quick Center for the Arts and the Media Institute

 

What is the role of the writer today in a world shaped by vast, impersonal forces — from climate change to modern warfare — and a culture riven by partisanship and discord where the nuances and beauties of a well-wrought line command less attention than sloganeering?

Join award-winning authors for a day of generative workshops, panels, and readings in which writers committed both to beauty and to speaking honestly in the public square discuss ways of engaging with the broader culture and preserving space for the full expression of human life. All genres and levels welcome.
