I’ll be leading a short fiction workshop, “You Are a Character Too,” Saturday March 19. Come write yourself as a character into your fiction at the Sharon Springs Free Library. Drop by and craft the many facets of your literary persona with us!

The Sharon Springs Free Library is chartered to serve the residents of the Town of Sharon. Its mission is to operate a circulating library and to provide technological services necessary to the educational and intellectual stimulation of the entire community. The library will also make reading areas and work stations available to both residents and visitors to the Town of Sharon.

Over the past semester Dr. Shannon Draucker, Dr. Stacey C. Dearing, and myself were awarded a grant from Siena College for our proposal to host a speaker and workshop series that promotes and implements inclusive and accessible pedagogical practices. In particular, the Diversity in Pedagogy series focuses on creating opportunities to consider new ways to incorporate accessibility, inclusivity, and diversity into our pedagogical practices — our assignments, our syllabus language, our projects, and our grading rubrics. Our Zoom event is this Thursday, March 18th and we are excited to host Dr. Danica Savonick from SUNY Cortland.

Dr. Stacey Dearing, Dr. Shannon Draucker, and myself will be hosting the panel “Portable Strategies for the Antiracist Classroom” at the 2021 Engage for Change conference. Come listen to strategies to promote diversity in the classroom, then discuss and brainstorm new ones. Each participant will leave with some portable concrete exercises or assignments that they can use in their next class. Hope to see you there!

Continuing our workshop on poets who walked we will examine Walt Whitman, Frank O’Hara, and The French Situationists to discover how the imagination has both shaped and been shaped by the urban spaces it passes through on two feet. Come join us!

Starting with William Wordsworth we will write and walk to discover how the imagination has both shaped and been shaped by the natural spaces it passes through on two feet. Come join us!
