How can writing about the self explicitly challenge and deconstruct hierarchies of power and domination? In this 3-hour class inspired by Audre Lorde’s "Zami: A New Spelling of My Name" and Christina Sharpe’s "Ordinary Notes," students will learn about autofiction, autotheory, and the autoethnographic. Through discussion and generative writing exercises, students will explore new ways to write about themselves and their place within oppressive systems.
Instructors:
Maurice Rippel (he/him) is a writer, educator and filmmaker committed to using ethnography and documentary for social change. He teaches at Bryn Mawr College and the Community College of Philadelphia, and is completing his PhD in Anthropology and African American studies at Yale University. His Medium is @maurice.rippel and his Instagram is @mauricerippel.
Luke McGowan-Arnold (he/him) is a writer and musician based in Philadelphia. He writes novels about social movements. His substack is @irregularnotes and his Instagram is @hueythecosmonaut.
