Join us this week as we talk with Ellison Rose, a first year MFA student of creative non-fiction about what a memoir is and how they are writing theirs. Our conversation touches on what rurality means, what it feels like coming back to graduate school after an 8-year gap since college, as well as features a stunning writing sample read by El. If you’re interested in learning more about the conversation surrounding rural cultural wealth, you can read the article El references here: https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/JME-06-2022-0076/full/html?skipTracking=true. Additionally, El stumbled upon this article through a blog that they read which they also recommend reading if interested: https://www.ednc.org/perspective-recognizing-my-rural-community-wealth-and-place-in-academia/. Hosted by Hannah Stuwe and Lisa Hildebrand.
