Villanova English's new BIPOC Writing Hangouts: What You Need to Know

On Tuesday, September 1, Villanova English faculty members Tsering Wangmo, Yumi Lee, and Adrienne Perry will be starting up their new BIPOC writing hangouts for Fall 2020. Students, alumni, and faculty who identify as people of color are invited to come and write, share, and connect in an informal setting. 

You don't have to be a writer to show up. Creative prompts will be provided to get folks writing. All you need to bring is paper and a pen, or whatever you like to write with. For folks who like to share their words, there will be time for that too.

When: Every other Tuesday from 7-9 p.m. EST. Fall 20202 dates are 9/1, 9/15, 9/29, 10/13, 10/27, 11/10 - with a reading on Nov. 17th.

Where: On Zoom. Please send an email to adrienne.perry@villanova.edu for the link.
 
Why: Villanova English's faculty of color were eager for a supportive place to gather, share, write, and connect, and we figured others might be too.
