Evaluating BA and MFA Creative Writing Programs
This framework is designed for academic programs in creative writing, to counter the harmful effects of the traditional workshop articulated by writers such as Junot Díaz, Claudia Rankine, and Viet Thanh Nguyen.
The framework enables creative writing programs to self-evaluate their practices in relation to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The sections below describe what faculty can do at the department-level to increase equity in their programs, in conjunction with campuswide strategic planning regarding diversity and inclusion.
Representation matters: The framework asks faculty to think about what their department communicates through curriculum, programming, marketing, and personnel decisions.
Equity and inclusion should be at the forefront of all the decisions we make.
