Description
In this talk we will explore how care shapes and is shaped by the writing process. Often, as writers with marginalized identities, we use writing as a tool for advancing social justice and reimagining the world. The process of writing about oppressive systems that intersect with our own lives and traumas can be both healing and painful, especially in the midst of ongoing violence; self-care alone isn’t enough to sustain our writing process. How can we apply the principles of disability justice to the writing process to infuse our writing practice with radical care? Care contains radical promise when grounded in radical politics. We will explore what this can be like through conversation, reflective writing prompts and pod-mapping.
