American University College of Arts and Sciences’ Post

📚 For more than 25 years, the Writer as Witness (WAW) program has been a beloved part of American University's first-year student experience. Each year, a common nonfiction text is chosen to engage incoming students in a reflective dialogue about important and current themes. Incoming students are invited to read the text, attend a live interview with the author, discuss the text in Writing Studies Program courses, and enter an essay contest to honor writing inspired by the text. For this year's text, "Why Didn’t We Riot? A Black Man in Trumpland" (@otherpress, 2020), a robust number of submissions were received!
