Writing Trauma: Nonlinear Challenges of Survival (Claudia Morales, Britta Stromeyer Esmail , Jo Blair Cipriano, Devi Laskar)

In-person event

As survivors of traumatic events,writers often engage with the art of writing as a form of therapy. What is the relation between testimonial writing,the craft of producing a text that connects with readers, and the praxis of healing? To explore this question, a panel of women writers will discuss about memory and healing. Through their stories, they will challenge biased assumptions about the seemingly harmonious relationship between writing and healing.
