for critical reading and discussion of the writings/text-based works of writers and other artists of color, with attention to the resonances between racialization, innovative language, and the relationship between identity and institutional politics in writing
practices, publishing, cultural circulation, and pedagogy. For questions please contact<a href="mailto:maryam.parhizkar@yale.edu" target="_blank">maryam.parhizkar@yale.edu</a>.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
