Social Justice Series

Writing for Social Justice

  • What kinds of power do words really have?
  • What does it mean to be a writer-activist?
  • How can each of us get involved in writing for social justice?

Join us for lively discussion of these questions at this ongoing Writing Center event series. Featuring a variety of speakers and formats, this inclusive series is designed to engage all members of the UW-Madison community, from undergraduates to faculty. All are welcome, and we hope you will join the conversation!

Below are some examples of our past offerings in this series.
