Where does the essay fit into the literary world? What role does research play? MA Design Research, Writing and Criticism presents a talk with editors Jessica Lynne and Niela Orr alongside prolific critic Jennifer Krasinski and faculty member and essayist Jennifer Kabat on writing, criticism and editing the essay. They’ll explore how they develop voice in their writing and where they see criticism and the essay in the world today, as well as practical matters on writing, pitching and working with editors.


Doors open at 6:00pm; talk begins at 6:30pm. All talks are followed by a reception in the MA Design Research, Writing and Criticism studio, where guests can meet featured speakers and prospective students can chat with current MA candidates, faculty and alumni.
