Episode 145 - Fashioning the Writing Identity: Steed Vernyl Davidson
Dialogue on Teaching, Wabash Center’s podcast series, is hosted by Nancy Lynne Westfield, Ph.D., Director of the Wabash Center. Amplifying the Wabash Center’s mission, the podcasts focus upon issues of teaching and learning in theology and religion within colleges, university, seminaries, as well as the publics impacted by these schools. Dialogues with faculty and administrators working in the wide range of institutional contexts illumine the complexity of teaching and the teaching life.

It takes time to embrace the genuine writing voices and courage to write for resistance, liberation, and incarnation. What does it take to write as if your voice matters? What does it mean to express your thoughts, ideas, and know-hows in the artistic medium of writing?
