Culture is all around us—it informs the way we act, speak, and exist within our societies and with others. The cultures we belong to are so fused into our personalities that it’s often difficult as a writer to think critically about how our characters’ cultures should be the same. In this workshop, we’ll look at how to examine the cultures we grew up in to better write about them and how to brainstorm new cultures to place our characters into. Led by Badgerdog teaching artist Jasmine Gulick. Open to teens, 7th-12th grade.
