WRITERS FROM THE EDGE: HUMANITIES AND COMMUNICATION

This annual series provides the campus with an opportunity to hear some of the best young contemporary authors, known and emerging, in the United States. These authors bring important perspectives on key concerns and issues confronting our nation and the world. The subject matter -- migration, ethnic histories, transnational histories, and sexual identity, among other concerns -- are relevant and important for our students and community, they also align with our curriculum.

These events support and further the CSUMB Founding Vision’s “commitment to multilingual, multicultural, gender-equitable learning.” They likewise serve in bringing positive and informed attention to the complex cultural differences that students bring to our campus and in the fostering of the University as a welcoming community that engages diversity in the service of student learning.

This series receives annual support from the CSUMB Special Events Fund and our partners across campus, thank you for making this series possible.
