Writing Reconciliation
Saturday, June 18, 2016
2:00pm 3:15pm
In this dynamic, interactive session, Danielle Metcalfe-Chenail, editor of the forthcoming anthology In this Together: Fifteen True Stories of Real Reconciliation (Brindle & Glass, 2016), and contributors Carol Shaben, Carleigh Baker, Lorri Neilsen Glenn, and Erika Luckert will discuss how it came about, what the process of writing their essays was like, and how they are using their voices to further the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It will tackle the challenges they face as they research, write, edit, and publish stories around Canada’s colonial past and present, and offer some hard-won insights for those who want to move reconciliation forward.
