This Virtual AWP Pedagogy discussion focuses on supporting LGBTQ students in the creative writing classroom. AWP and the Creative Writing Studies Organization welcome Anel I. Flores, Alexa Garvoille, and Ruben Quesada as they discuss solutions to structural problems in creative writing workshops and programs that marginalize LGBTQ and BIPOC writers. AWP Board Member Stephanie Vanderslice moderates as they cover the importance of being visible as queer educators, contextualizing queer writers of the past, and collaborating with other teachers and students to ensure the inclusion of all voices.
