Institute for Writing and Thinking Presents

IWT Writer as Reader Workshops

Friday, November 5, 2021
Online Event
9:00 am – 3:30 pm EDT/GMT-4
We planning for both the October 1 and November 5, 2021 Bard College IWT Writer as Reader Workshops to be held online. We look forward to returning to in-person workshops in 2022.

Writer as Reader workshops model writing practices that inspire students to read more carefully, to grasp the meaning in more complex texts, and to infer meaning from what they read. These workshops invite secondary and college teachers to consider “writing to read” as a central classroom practice, one that shows rather than tells students how writing clarifies the meaning of texts. Working with diverse writing-to-read strategies, workshop participants discover what they bring to the text, what is apparent in the text, what is inferred, and what questions the text poses.

Workshop offerings:
  1. Language Choice as Language Justice: Reading for Resistance in Postcolonial Texts
  2. Writing Home: Kinship, Citizenship, and Belonging in Sophocles’ Antigone and Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home
  3. The Substance of Justice: The Narrative of Sojourner Truth and “The Merchant of Venice”
  4. Walt Whitman: Looking, Listing, Vegetating
  5. Aha! Moments: Exploring Epiphanies in James Joyce, Katherine Mansfield and ZZ Packer
  6. Tell It Slant: Grappling with Suffering through Science Fiction and Fable
  7. The Fractal Nature of Our World: The Mathematics of Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia
  8. Trouble in Paradise: Visions of Black Utopia & Despair in Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God and Marvel's Black Panther
  9. Issues in Translation: Poems that Prevail against Erasure
  10. Why We Walk: Teju Cole and Virginia Woolf
