Regardless of genre, writing at the intersection of multiple identities creates specific challenges in terms of navigating not only one's relationship to the normative or mainstream, but mediating between rhetorics and experiences across communities. In this workshop we'll take a look at some of the strategies intersectional writers have employed to express their ideas and aesthetics, and discuss possible directions writers can take to approach their work from an intersectional perspective.
