Step 2: Register for “Writing Alongside the Nonhuman” here

It is one thing to write about animals, plants, and other non-human beings, but what would it look like to write with them? In this workshop, we will explore how we can write towards a better understanding of non-human experiences while still respecting the gap between us. We will unpack anthropomorphism and imagine an ethics for our writing that extends beyond empathy, discussing work from Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian, and others.
