In this panel, writers will discuss place and setting as key in many kinds of writing. They will explore the following questions: How do you convey a sense of place or paint a unique landscape? In what ways does location contribute to your writing? Can a literary work truly be "universal," or will place always determine how a piece is understood?

Featuring: Forrest Gander, Catarina Gomes (International Writing Program), Nurit Kasztelan (International Writing Program), Chris Offutt, and Pervin Saket (International Writing Program)
