We know AWP panels are often niche. Some will agree that the most memorable have come as a surprise. Something rather magical happens in the room. I haven’t been lucky enough to be in too many rooms like that. In any case, I’ve been reflecting on a few ideas for panel proposals for the AWP conference… but, of course, these could be for another conference, too.
To me the most interesting is the issue of cancel culture and takedowns (along with the Guernica situation. But they are the most fraught and likely to be met with troubling consequences—which is the reason whey this is so important.
Mark, if you ever want to do a panel on Artificial Intelligence, let me know. I’ve published in this area, and have given a great deal of thought to it. Best, Carla
Thanks, Mark. Definitely thought-provoking ideas. I'd love to see a panel on "Benefit or Curse: Writing Multi-Genre" and perhaps "Should Writers Use Their Platforms for Political Advocacy."
