Diasporic Creative Writing Workshop Festival of Languages - Free

Are you a diaspora writer or researcher? Curious on how to write about languages in a way that honours identity, culture, and heritage? Or simply enthusiastic about language and conducting multilingual research?

This practical workshop will bring together various postgraduate researchers from St Andrews who have been implementing languages and its connection to diaspora within their own writing and research.

Whether you speak more than one language, it influences your creative writing, or used as a major instrument within your academic writing (including translation as a tool for diasporic connections, movements, and analysis), lets engage in different practices that can allow you to harness language even further!

This event is part of the Festival of Languages, organised by the University of St Andrews School of Modern Languages. Mainly based in the Byre Theatre, all events in the Festival programme are FREE and open to the public. Places must be booked in advance — use the link below.
