Have you ever considered writing memoir? Or crime fiction? Both genres offer us persuasive ways of articulating our political views to the larger public.
Memoir is always inherently political, for it testifies to and critiques the impact of familial and political structures, cultural hierarchies, and socioeconomic structures. Crime fiction, too, implicitly interrogates and redefines constitutive concepts of justice and violation.
This talk will offer an overview of both literary genres and share specific writing strategies. You can watch the live webstream and Q&A at http://research.unl.edu/nebraskalectures.
