I See You; Your Story Matters with Julie Ryan

Julie Ryan and UW Director Matt attended graduate school together in Vancouver, B.C. Earlier this year, Julie reached out to Matt from her English classroom in Dunedin, New Zealand in response to The Underground Writing Podcast episode about our 2018 week-long intensive at juvenile detention. She has since started a creative writing group at St. Hilda's Collegiate School and is with us in the studio to discuss literary education and cultural shifts.LINKS OF INTEREST:kia ora, Maori greetingSt. Hilda’s Collegiate School in Dunedin, New ZealandInternational Literacy Association: 2019 Conference in New OrleansEquity in EducationRenée Watson, author of Piecing Me Together and Some Places More Than OthersDavid Kirkland, Executive Director of NYU Metropolitan Center for Research on Equity and the Transformation of SchoolsHamish Brewer, author of RELENTLESS: Changing Lives by Disrupting the Educational NormJennifer Bradbury, Teaching Writer, on the Underground Writing PodcastLong Way Down, by Jason ReynoldsTomas Tranströmer, poetUnderground Writing: a literature-based creative writing program serving migrant, incarcerated, recovery, and other at-risk communities in northern Washington through literacy and personal transformation.
