Write About Asia<\/strong> is a recurring, annual writing workshop offered by the East Asia Resource Center at the University of Washington in conjunction with the Seattle Asian Art Museum\u2019s (SAAM) Gardner Center for Asian Art and Ideas<\/a>\u00a0and its seasonal\u00a0Saturday University Lecture Series<\/strong><\/a>, <\/em>during which participants delve into new themes with a different speaker each week. Challenging, thought-provoking, and sometimes surprising, this long-running and always popular lecture series incorporates audience discussion as experts from around the world join us to share their insights on Asia throughout time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Write About Asia was offered following each SAAM public lecture from Fall 2025 to Spring 2026. During the workshop, time was given to solitary writing in response to the morning lecture. The workshop nurtured educators as writers through self-reflection and group discussion, and took place after each lecture.<\/p>\n
