SEMINARS, WORKSHOPS, & COURSES

Picture
I am interested in language, literature, and creativity and how they shape what it means to be human. Through the exploration of literary history, grammar, and writing craft, I inspire students to re-examine the ways we identify ourselves as members of diverse communities.

​
I would love to facilitate creative writing workshops for your students and cultural center members, prepare in-depth lectures and seminars on language, literature, and creativity, and develop longer courses on how to write fiction, non-fiction, and poetry.

LECTURES ON LANGUAGE, LITERATURE, AND CREATIVITY

‘Dreams Are Like Poems’: The Radical Healing Potential of Poetry

For: The Palestinian Children's Relief Fund (PCRF), Rutgers University Chapter. This piece attempts to answer the questions: 'What is poetry?' & 'Why does writing poetry matter?' An updated version has been published in The Operating System & Liminal Lab.


Does Literature Impact the World?

​For: Dr. Shahd Al-Shammari's poetry class at Gulf University for Science and Technology, December 28, 2021. In this lecture I attempt to answer the question "Does literature impact the world?" by looking at language, history, politics, and--among other examples--the human eye.

Madness or Magic? A Brief History of Poetry


For: Gulf University for Science and Technology's Mind Boost Series. 
A brief history of poetry's association with possession and /or mental disorder may highlight who benefits from naming people as witches or madmen and who struggles as a result of being named. Furthermore, it may show us whether certain associations impact society's growth or lead to loss of vitality.
