Wednesday, April 10: Writing for Social Change: Adania Shibli’s Minor Detail

This event will feature a short discussion of Adania Shibli’s Minor Detail (2017)—an award-winning Palestinian novel that narrates two historical moments to show the haunting and all-too-ordinary nature of colonial violence—followed by a speculative creative writing exercise, inspired by Shibli, where we practice writing for social change. There will be pizza! 

Wednesday, April 10 from 7:30 to 8:30 pm in Falvey 205. ACS approved.
