Chatham University’s Falk School of Sustainability and Creative Writing program have invited me to serve as part of a new initiative at Chatham—the Rachel Carson Visiting Scholars Program. I’ll be teaching a 4-day master class in writing, during the MFA program's Summer Community of Writers program. Carson was a graduate of Chatham College for Women, and much of their programming in the MFA program and across the university, grows from her ethic of care for the environment and interest in how humans connect to it.
