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\u00a0<\/a>and its seasonal\u00a0Saturday University Lecture Series<\/strong><\/a>, <\/em>during which participants delve into new themes with a different speaker each month. 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 is offered following each SAAM public lecture. During the workshop, time is given to solitary writing in response to the lecture. The workshop nurtures educators as writers through self-reflection and group discussion, and takes place after each lecture.<\/p>\n
