FreeWriting Other People’s Stories
As journalists, Jackie Dent and Sarah Gilbert are all too familiar with the often-extractive way in which the media uses people’s stories. As a writer and social researcher, Andra Putnis appreciates the power of storytelling to help us better understand ourselves and the world around us. All three have written powerful non-fiction books that engage with the complexities and ethics of telling other people’s stories. Hosted by Kylie Morris.
