CRAFT CRITIQUE CULTURE is an interdisciplinary conference focusing on the intersections of critical and creative approaches to writing both within and beyond the academy. This year’s conference will encourage an examination of the “inter” of interdisciplinary—as well as the construction and deconstruction of boundaries between and within the academic, public, private, personal, critical, and creative discourses—through an inquiry into bridging divides.

Both will be held in the Gerber Lounge, 304 EPB.
