It’s spring…the season of hope, promise, and the nagging sense that you’d like to write more. We have a solution! Drexel’s Social Science and Humanities Research Council and the University Writing Program are sponsoring a writing retreat series for the first four weeks of the spring quarter. Any Drexel faculty or staff member working on a writing project is welcome to attend.

Drexel University’s College of Arts and Sciences is proud to welcome Distinguished Lecturer Terry Tempest Williams, author, conservationist and advocate for free speech on April 6 at 6:30 p.m. in Drexel’s Mandell Theater. Join Williams as she addresses the subject of “Finding Beauty in a Broken World: From Erosion to an Ethic of Place.” After her presentation, we invite you to engage with Williams in a Q&A session.

In 2023, the Drexel Writing Festival will explore the theme, “em|power,” an idea that encapsulates both power dynamics and the drive for empowerment, particularly for those who have previously been powerless. Featured guests include fiction writer Molly Antepol, author of The Unamericans; Cihuayollotl, trans woman Xicanx poet Moncho Alvarado; Kim Kelly, the author of Fight Like Hell: the untold story of American labor; and Philadelphia Inquirer journalist Helen Ubinas who writes about the impact of gun violence in Philadelphia. In addition, Drexel faculty member Jakeya Caruthers will speak on race, gender, and state discipline; faculty member Travis Curtice will discuss repression and policing.
