Students are invited to submit drafts in advance** of this mini-workshop, or to use space generatively for those just getting started. **Students who wish to send in draft submissions to Chaplain Adnan Adrian Wood-Smith by November 30 may be invited to present them at the 12/3 TNS and/or workshop them 1-1 with Allie in advance.
