Student creative writing compiled in digital anthology

July 28, 2023

In the fall of 2022, Ecuadorian author and scholar Gabriela Alemán served as the first Kislak Family Foundation Writer in Residence at the UF Center for Latin American Studies. During that time, in addition to building bonds with students and professors alike, she taught a creative writing course.

Each student in the course produced a final short story in Spanish, which Profesora Alemán has recently compiled in a digital anthology, Dueños de Nuestras Palabras. You can read the works here: https://online.fliphtml5.com/phmyj/dfgt/#p=1
