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.
