Dear Friends of the hUManities, Welcome to a new week Upcoming Public Lectures: The Writing Towards a Just World Research Cluster presents: Look See Write by Sally Ito Tuesday, September 27th from 12 PM - 2 PM CT Hybrid event: in-person at 307 Tier Boardroom & online via Zoom<https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_yoWJR4vBROWAF5oK9ppJPQ?_x_zm_rt…> Look, See, Write is a workshop about turning what you see into words. What happens when the things you look at become words ? A transformation. Roses are red, it's true, but in a line of verse, they can also be blue. We'll begin this workshop by deep looking and then transform those sights into words and hopefully end up with a poem! This workshop is a hybrid event. Folks are welcome to attend in person at 307 Tier or stream via Zoom.
