Here’s an article in Poets & Writers on MFAs addressing diversity issues. And here’s a Tumblr Race & the MFA, which looks to have lots of resources.
Then there’s the recent WTF at an MFA program, which is illustrative. I don’t find the original text, but here’s one student’s response to a talk by an MFA faculty member: On Kindness, On Intention, and On Anger in Children’s Writers
- Response on WNDB’s tumblr, written by Swati Avasthi
- Debbie Reese’s comments on the above.
And then there’s this: AWP is Us (original post has been replaced with an apology.)
- PW article
- More from Kate Gale
- An open letter to Kate Gale from Karrie Higgins
- Another response on Adroit Journal.
- Debbie Reese has thoughts on the matter too.
- AWP Strikes Out
I leave these here for you to ponder.
