Why the novel? Gender activism and decolonialpedagogy through literature

Please join us for a panel discussion reflecting on creative writing and

literary representation as a space for political and pedagogical change.

dialogue with participants in thinking through questions about literature as

feminist decolonial scholarship, pedagogy and activism. Panelists include

Barbara Boswell, author of Grace – a novel (Modjadji, 2017); Jade Gibson,

author of Glowfly Dance (Umuzi Press, 2015); and Kharnita Mohamed,

author of Called to Song (Kwela Press, 2018).
