Bard College Berlin Presents

Writing as Thinking: A Short Practice in Essay and Argument

This two-part workshop offers the opportunity to work with renowned journalist Joshua Yaffa on crafting non-fiction prose. Like academic writing, essay-writing for journals and magazines requires precision, evidence, and a sharp argument, but in other ways, the approach to writing is distinct. Participants will have the chance to write, workshop, and revise pieces intended for a broad readership. 

Session 1 is on Wednesday, September 13, from 5:30-6:30pm in the K30 Reading Room.
Session 2 is on Monday, September 18, from 5:30-7:00pm in the K30 Reading Room. A dinner will be served for participants after Session 2.

Register here. Please sign up only if you are able to attend both sessions of the workshop.

Joshua Yaffa is a contributing writer at The New Yorker as well as author of Between Two Fires: Truth, Ambition, and Compromise in Putin's Russia, winner of the Orwell Prize in 2021.
