Split Open: A Conversation and Writing Workshop
Telling the truth about our lives reveals that this inherited world is 
not a perfect fit for us all. With Arisa White

Wednesday March 27th 6:00pm
Faculty Lounge, Hampshire College

In this workshop, we will dialogue about how we, as writers, approach 
difficult and vulnerable-making subject matter: race, sexuality, 
religion; politics?those hot topics that spur the desire to write. Yet 
when we get to the page, we are often confronted with our own 
self-consciousness. What new idea or point of view can deepen the 
conversation? How to artistically enter into something that feels bigger 
than the individual?

Writing exercises will offer participants a way to start; to approach 
topics and subjects that may intimidate them as writers, and find that 
through embracing one?s self?voice, history, and experiences?as a source 
of intelligence, we see who we are and what we put forth as distinctive, 
new, enlarging, and necessary.

Community Advocacy, a department of student life, incorporates 
multicultural and international student services (and the 
Lebron-Wiggins-Pran Cultural Center); queer services (and the Queer 
Community Alliance Center); spiritual life (and the Spiritual Life 
Center); the Wellness Center; and women services (and the Center for 
Feminisms).

Community Advocacy promotes the well-being of the entire campus 
community; fosters connections across social identities and ideas; and 
engages in passionate and compassionate dialogue and programs.

We support and provide resources for the holistic development of 
students with the goals of nourishing student initiatives; increasing 
awareness and appreciation of different cultures, backgrounds, and 
perspectives; and encouraging understanding and mutual respect as we 
actively work towards social change.
