WriteCast Episode 56: Writing for Social Change: Letters to Legislators
In this episode of the WriteCast
podcast, Claire and Kacy sit down with Melissa Meghan, two Walden Writing
Center instructors, to talk about how they work toward positive social change
in their communities by writing to their local representatives. Claire and Kacy
ask Melissa Meghan to share how this type of writing is similar and different
to academic writing, the tools they use when writing for social change, and
their experiences with the process. As a student working to create positive
social change, we hope that this podcast episode helps you think about the ways
in which your academic writing can develop into other forms of writing.
