Additionalfaculty participate as associate staff during the 10-day residency periods, teaching literature from a writer's point of view. The five residencies feature workshops, readings, lectures and discussions of literature, and an ongoing investigation of what constitutes the world of letters. In keeping '0.ith Bennington's progressive tradition, the course of study in the Seminars is largely self-structured by the student. Students, in consort with the core staff, form their own reading lists, and submit interpretive and original work-fiction, nonfiction, and poetry-forcritique at regular intervals throughout the semester. The tutorial and development of individual work is at the heartof the program, as it is at the heart of Bennington College and its other graduate programs in dance, music, and the visual arts. Students are expected to devote at least twenty-five hours each week to their writingand reading, and a successfully completed semester's work is granted sixteen hours of graduate credit. To receive the M.F.A., each student will create and submit a manuscript of fiction, nonfiction, or poetry at the end of the program.

This is about how people connect their work with the work that precedes them. The value of a work is how it interacts with the existing scholarship, including the need to affirm and negate, as well as to fill in where the existing literature is silent. This is the importance of bibliography, a research guide to the existing literature. A scholar is known by their mastery of the bibliography of their field of study. This is why in every PhD dissertation there is always a chapter for the "review of the literature." One of the dangers in Black Studies is that

  • X: a Novel by Ilyasah Shabazz with Kekla Magoon
    X: a Novel by Ilyasah Shabazz with Kekla Magoon This riveting and revealing novel follows the formative years of the man whose words and actions shook the world. X follows Malcolm from his childhood to his imprisonment for theft at age twenty, when he found the faith that would lead him to forge a new path and command a voice that still resonates today. Why you'll like it: Compelling, candid, emotional, suspenseful About the Authors: Ilyasah Shabazz, third daughter of Malcom X, is an activist, producer, motivational speaker and author of Growing Up X. Shabazz explains that it is her responsibility to tell her father’s story accurately. She believes “his life’s journey will empower others to achieve their highest potential.” Kekla Magoon is a writer, editor, speaker, and educator. She is the author of Camo Girl, 37 Things I Love (in No Particular Order), How It Went Down, and numerous non-fiction titles for the education market.

She also leads writing workshops for youth and adults and is the co-editor of YA and Children's Literature for Hunger Mountain, the arts journal of Vermont College. (Bowker Author Biography) Questions for Discussion 1. Instead of telling the story in chronological order, the author moves back and forth through time. What effects does this have on the story? What is this important to the story? 2. Early in the story, Malcolm says “I am my father’s son. But to be my father’s son means that they will always come for me” (page 5).

    CANDLEWICK PRESS TEACHERS’ GUIDE aNOVEL by Ilyasah Shabazz with Kekla Magoon ABOUT THE BOOK Malcolm Little is lost, his spirit broken. His father has been murdered, his mother taken away by state officials bent on destroying his family, and Malcolm separated from his siblings. Trouble seems to find him wherever he goes . and some of it is his own making. Choosing the excitement of Boston and New York over the loving home and guidance of his half-sister, Malcolm slides into the streets of Roxbury and Harlem at age fourteen. From running numbers to smoking dope to small-time hustling, Malcolm tries everything the street life has to offer. But he cannot outrun the law — or his grief — forever, and he ultimately ends up in prison. There Malcolm comes to terms with his past and changes the course of his life. Out of the pages of history, we see how Malcolm’s past leads him to become a humanitarian leader representing HC: 978-0-7636-6967-6 new hope for all races: the man now known as Malcolm X.

  • Ilyasah Shabazz – Transcript
    Game Changers with Ilyasah Shabazz – transcript Facilitator Thank you so much, and welcome to tonight’s Game Changer conversation. Game Changer is a part of a series of conversations that VU and Maribyrnong City Council have hosted over the last 12 months, as part of the Footscray University Town Initiative, and this is a special conversation, a special Game Changer, and we are so honoured to have the special guests that we have tonight, in particular one guest, but I’ll leave the introductions to Craig. To commence, I’d like to acknowledge that tonight we are meeting on the traditional lands of the Bunurong and the Wurundjeri tribes of the Kulin nation. We pay respects to their elders, families and forebears who are custodians of the university land for many centuries and through them to their elders here with us tonight. This venue is VU at MetroWest and it’s part of the Footscray University Town Initiative, and the partners in that initiative are Victoria University and Maribyrnong City Council. So thank you very much for coming to the event and you are most welcome. I’d now like to introduce Craig Dent, Chief Executive Officer of State Trustees. State Trustees have been very wise. They’ve chosen to make Footscray their home. So welcome Craig, and Craig will introduce our guest speaker tonight. Thank you. [applause] Craig Dent I’m a bit too tall for this. Before I begin tonight, I’d also like to pay my respects to the traditional owners of the land on which we gather here this evening and pay my respects to their elders past and present, and extend that respect to any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders that may be with us here this evening as well.

  • Northern Review 46 Yukon College.Indd
    Nancy Lord One Writer, Becoming On my sixty-second birthday, my friend Tom presented me with an envelope of letters I’d written to him when we were both twenty-two years old and aspiring writers. He’d rediscovered them among his old fi les. I set the envelope on a corner of my desk, where it sat like a watched clock, ticking. I didn’t know if I wanted to renew my acquaintance with my younger self. I had been, I was pretty sure, annoyingly sure of certain things, and pitifully naïve of others; sometimes I was both opinionated and naïve about the same things. Why embarrass myself at this point in life? Why make myself cringe? On a rainy day six months later, my curiosity fi nally asserted itself and I opened the envelope. There were four letters, dated between August 2, 1974, and January 5, 1975, the fi rst written by hand, scrunched edge to edge on four legal-pad pages, the others typed on the portable typewriter I’d hauled to Alaska, with its worn ribbon. Memory is, of course, fi ckle, adjustable, alterable and altered. We know from brain research that it’s not a fi xed thing, like something The Northern Review 46 (2017): 9–17 9 doi.org/10.22584/nr46.2017.002 stored in a lockbox, or—in today’s terms—data in a computer. Memory is a process, and each time we call up a memory the neural connections link up a little diff erently and amend the memory itself, even as the pathways strengthen.
