2025 UI International Writing Program Panel: Writing as a Form of Activism
About this event

In an ever-shifting geopolitical world, writing is often used as a catalyst for social change. Do writers have an obligation to advocate for their communities? Today’s essays and conversation will explore what makes literature political, and the dangers and benefits that come with it.
The IWP Friday Panel Discussion series provides an opportunity for the residents of Iowa City to meet and converse with writers from around the world who are the Fall 2025 Writers in Residence at the University of Iowa International Writing Program.
The series is sponsored by the UI International Writing Program and the Iowa City Public Library.
This event is live and in-person, and will be streamed live on the ICPL YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/thelibrarychannel
