Creative Writing Workshop: Rebuilding Worlds

In this hands-on creative writing workshop we will create and discuss speculative fiction on the theme of more just societies. The workshop will be facilitated by Phil Crockett Thomas, and draws on Phil’s research on the anti-carceral imagination and her book Abolition Science Fiction (2022), written with activists and scholars involved in the movement for prison abolition in the UK. There is no need to be an experienced writer or activist to take part. A small amount of preparatory reading will be shared in advance of the workshop.
