ALL
Summary:
How do we approach criticism as a form that, as critic Merve Emre asks, “allows us to make sense of something—a fact, a feeling, an art form—by orienting a set of beliefs about the world [and] allows us to make this knowledge known to others"? In this feedback clinic, participants will learn how to structure and think through techniques that will help hone their approach to writing criticism. This online feedback clinic actively encourages sharing of your work with your cohort as well as with the tutor.
