Description:
Blending resources from creative writing studies, sociolinguistics, and writing and composition studies, this series of essays offers a formula for important changes within creative writing instruction, probing how it might be more inclusive and accessible for marginalized student-authors. Aimed at graduate student instructors as the future of teaching, and other teacher-practitioners of the subject, this book uses anticolonial, feminist, and antiracist methodologies to explore the 21st-century professional, institutional, and theoretical concerns surrounding creative writing practices in North American higher education. At the forefront of this vital resource is Micah McCrary's exploration of the ways creative writing pedagogy and theory can be adapted for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and non-native English student-authors who often inhabit minoritized and marginalized positions within colleges and universities.Applying as a frame the notion of cultural dexterity as it is taught to medical professionals to allow them to engage effectively with patients from all backgrounds, ethnics groups and with all sensitivities, Teaching Cultural Dexterity in Creative Writing examines why and how creative writing instruction needs to be urgently renegotiated. In this essential text for all creative writing instructors, McCray provides all the tools necessary to take positive action with discussions of potential readings, writing prompts and sample course materials.
