\"NWWS_logo_widget\"<\/a>\u201cOur Daily Bread: Women\u2019s Stories of Food and Resilience\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 May 7 – 9, 2015<\/h5>\n

The fourth annual CSWS Northwest Women Writers Symposium will be held Thursday May 7, 2015, through Saturday May 9, 2015. Diana Abu-Jaber (Crescent<\/em>; The Language of Baklava<\/em>; Birds of Paradise<\/em>) is the keynote author and will be joined by writers\u00a0Novella Carpenter<\/a> (Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer<\/em>); scholar, activist, social justice novelist, editor Breeze Harper<\/a> (Sistah Vegan<\/em>; Scars<\/em>); poet Donna Henderson (The Eddy Fence<\/em>), and others.<\/p>\n

This theme opens conversations about the sensuality of food; food and culture; food shortages; hunger and poverty; health and eating disorders; climate change; misuse of natural resources; environmental racism; food distribution; genetic manipulation of seeds; and preparation and growing of food. Food is our daily bread, but in the practice of writing, what else feeds us? \u201cOur Daily Bread\u201d is a rich theme that will open the door to fruitful discussions of craft, creativity, humanity, gender, and community.<\/p>\n

Events will be held on the University of Oregon campus and at the Downtown Eugene Public Library (10th& Olive).\u00a0 Events are free and open to the public. However, Saturday afternoon workshops will be limited to 20 participants each.
