Abstract
In this chapter, Claire Hynes examines her methodology and pedagogy for teaching creative writing, referencing in her discussion insights gained from Paulo Freire, Jennifer Moon, Al Avarez, bell hooks, Claudia Rankine, Brenda Miller, Suzanne Paola, and Eugenia Zuroski, among others. She expresses, as well, her own mindfulness, as a Black British woman academic, “that university spaces often assume the presence of certain bodies and consider others (including my own) out of place,” and cites the work of Chavez, Salesses, Nguyen, and Rankine that explore similar concerns with traditional creative writing workshops. As such, Hynes demonstrates the ways in which she is sensitive to the experiences of marginalized students and makes efforts to “ensure that everyone can fully bring themselves into the classroom.” The chapter concludes with an analysis of her written commentary on a student’s submission for Hynes’ second-year undergraduate module Writing Life: The Writer’s World through Creative Non-Fiction. The student’s written work, as Hynes explains, provides the foundation for a podcast that will later be professionally recorded.
