5th annual CSWS Northwest Women Writers Symposium<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cCrossing Borders: Women\u2019s Stories of Immigration, Migration, and Transition,\u201d May 6 \u2013 8, 2016<\/h4>\n

The symposium includes panel discussions, writing workshops, a keynote talk, author conversations & readings, book signings, and discussion. Our theme is \u201cCrossing Borders: Women\u2019s Stories of Immigration, Migration, and Transition.\u201d How have our migrations and moves contributed to or instigated our writings? What do we move away from, and what do we go toward? What are the historical, political, and personal currents that influence our transitions\u2014from one country to another, from one state to another, from city to country, from mountains to sea, from one marriage or partnership to another, from one career to another, from one self-view to another? \u201cCrossing Borders\u201d is a multi-layered theme that will open the door to fruitful discussions of craft, creativity, challenges of survival, making room for others, and community. This theme promises to open conversations about border politics; poverty; racism and xenophobia; climate change; ongoing effects of colonialism and genocide; family dynamics; agricultural patterns and enslavement; overpopulation; human migratory patterns; fleeing war and abuse; moving on; and traveling for discovery, growth, and as part of our archetypal human journey.<\/p>\n
