Experiential Learning, Multimodality, and the Publishing Classroom, Oh My!
Thursday, February 8, 2024
9:00 am to 10:15 am
Given the demands of the current job market, the importance of experiential learning cannot be overstated. Creative writing instructors are tackling this challenge by bringing publishing and its many multimodal facets into the classroom. From founding, to production, to print, our panel will discuss best practices in organizing, editing, and promoting published work. We will address the need for print and digital literary journals as well as other publishing venues on campus and beyond.
