Open Admissions: The Poetics and Pedagogy of Toni Cade Bambara, June Jordan, Audre Lorde, and Adrienne Rich in the Era of Free College (2024), offers an alternative vision of the modern university as a space of creative synergy and social transformation. The volume focuses on the pedagogical work of four celebrated American writers who taught in the tuition-free SEEK (Search for Education, Elevation and Knowledge) program at CUNY (City University of New York) in the late 1960s and early 70s.
