講題：Remaking the World: Creativity, Writing and Social Justice
           再造世界：創意、書寫與社會正義

Whether fiction, non-fiction or poetry, writing has the power to remake the world. It can shake us up, change how we see things,
transform the way we think and feel, and open up new possibilities for social and political action. In this talk,writers Hannah Stevens
and Will Buckingham will discuss their project Wind&Bones,which explores the meeting places between writing, creativity and social justice.

They will talk about their work with different communities from the UK to Myanmar, explore some challenging issues around the ethics and
politics of writing,and ask about the connections between literature and activism.
