Summary: Writers have long been powerful voices in writing about and confronting injustice. In the past few years, however, we have seen examples of writers misunderstanding their social justice subjects and characters in important ways. In this panel, three writers discussed the many approaches such writing takes (novels, stories, essays, and op-eds), how not to ruin a story with didactic prose, and to how to write to urge readers to action. Panelists Nan Cuba, Vivé Griffith, & Alejandro Puyana spoke with WLT Program Director Michael Noll.
