R239. Together with All That Could Happen: A Teaching Roundtable

Marquis Salon 12 & 13, Marriott Marquis, Meeting Level Two
Thursday, February 9, 2017
3:00 pm to 4:15 pm

 

Writing and teaching fiction is a recursive process misrepresented somewhat by the conventional language of pedagogy, especially the somewhat cryptic term “teaching philosophy,” which for young teachers necessarily implies that conception and method precede experience. On this panel, experienced teachers and theorists of creative writing craft discuss distinct pedagogical and theoretical viewpoints and how they came to form them.
