Feminist Poetics and Pedagogies

Symposium: Feminist Poetics, Emergent Pedagogies
Los Angeles, CA
May 11 & 12, 2018
Hosted by Margaret Rhee and Andrea Quaid

We are grateful for all donations. Money will help cover general costs. The event is free and open to all who want to attend. Thank you! 

Event description: 
In this current political moment, we propose a two-day symposium exploring the relationships between poetics and pedagogy. The symposium will include panels, conversations, potluck, poetry reading and radical pedagogical activity-experiment breakout sessions.

Some questions we hope to ask with this event: What does pedagogy mean to your writing practice? How do your poetics intersect with your pedagogy and education commitments?

We invite participants to join together to think about the inventive and urgent possibilities of intertwined poetic-pedagogical work. What might emerge differently when we bring them together? The symposium proposes to prompt questions in creative, intersectional feminist ways and to provide a space for conversation, imagination, critical reflection and altogether poetic wildness.

Confirmed featured speakers and workshop facilitators are Tia Blassingame, Erica Kaufman, Jennifer Scappettone and Celina Su. Including a featured workshop by Lynne DeSilva-Johnson.

Symposium events will take place at the Immanuel Presbyterian Church, with sponsorship by Bard College and the Poetic Research Bureau. We are planning a post-symposium publication of writing and reflections published by eohippus labs. Here's an example of a previous post-conference publication by Harold Abramowitz and Amanda Ackerman’s eohippus labs: http://eohippuslabs.com/annex-series/
