The combined 2nd Annual Writing and Well-Being and 2nd UNR Crossings Conferences offer an interdisciplinary, interactive and engaging virtual gathering to explore shared work in writing and well-being. A free, open-to-the-public virtual lecture with w88 online game West is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 4, at 3 p.m.
“Dr. Cornel West will engage in a conversation that will evaluate our progress since the civil rights movement and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s demand to end global suffering,” William Macauley, University of Nevada, Reno professor of English and w88 online game organizer, said. “The conversational journey is sure to educate our minds and our hearts.”
The w88 online game, scheduled Jan. 3-5, 2021 with the combined title of “Minds, Means, and Materials,” is co-sponsored by The Hilliard Endowment, the College of Liberal Arts w88 online game and Community Engagement Committee, the Department of English Visiting Speakers Committee, the Department of English, College of Liberal Arts Dean Debra Moddelmog and The Leonard Endowment in Philosophy.
“The ‘Minds, Means, and Materials’ w88 online game is an opportunity to reconnect ourselves through writing,” Macauley said. “We are hoping this virtual gathering offers an opportunity for reaching deeper, writing more authentically, learning and growing thoughtfully, and understanding the world around us more richly.”
