Critical Storytelling from the Pandemic: Student Speaks gathers outstanding essays of student writers at 星空无限传媒 University and MacArthur High School in Decatur, Ill., and Federal University of Uberl芒ndia in Uberl芒ndia, Brazil, for publication and release into the academic community by international publisher Brill, one of the fastest-growing publishers of books in educational research and related fields. The Critical Storytelling project fosters a classroom environment where students do the discipline, meaning peers motivate peers to create high-quality work, improve writing and editing skills, and inspire student leadership. The result is a volume of undergraduate stories about pandemic experiences written and edited by students.
Come to our 2024 COS panel to celebrate our fourth publication and hear from featured writers and editors, who will discuss their first-hand experiences with Critical Storytelling.
