B10DISCUSSION with Eli Goldblatt: Community Writing in a Time of Violence 425 What role does writing play in responding to fears and disillusionment that can emerge after being inundated with reports of mass violence? How can we help communities that feel shaken by violence on the streets or violent images projected on to them by others? How can people respond through writing to disturbing scenes they see either in the media or in their daily lives? How should literacy leaders respond to the cheapening of public discourse and attacks on verifiable reporting? This session brings together people concerned about the effects of the near-daily reports of mass violence, threats against women and minority communities, public insult exchanges, and social polarization. No speaker can tell us how to proceed; we will write, read, and talk together, sharing responses that support both communities and individuals in moments of distress.Panel0
