Multilingual Writers' Studio: Revision Strategies
Through structured activities, peer dialogue, and reflective writing, participants will build strategies to negotiate academic expectations while sustaining their own voices and identities as writers.
This 5-week workshop series integrates practical revision tools with antiracist and decolonial perspectives on writing.
