We’re very excited to be part of LA Review of Book’s LITLIT festival — please join us for this panel on Saturday, Nov 2, 11:30AM at The Pit, where Ren Heintz, will be speaking to our collaboration on Transchool: Vol. 1, an anthology published on Co–Conspirator Press this past June.
UCLA Humanities presents “Writing for Your People,” a panel conversation highlighting publications that are produced in response and proximity to the communities they serve. The panel will dive into how people produce, envision, and execute publications that serve their community. As we think about hyperlocalized stories, we’ll dive into how they can become universal, and the overall power writing for your people holds.
This panel will be moderated by writer and professor Summer Kim Lee. Featuring representatives from campus publications Westwind (UCLA) and Word Magazine (UCSB) in conversation with Ren Heintz, instructor at Transchool and assistant professor of English and director of the Center for the Study of Genders and Sexualities at Cal State Los Angeles, and Bidhran Chandra Roy, the director of Cal State of L.A.’s Prison Graduation Initiative and founder of WordsUncaged.
