Archiving Our Selves - Writing Workhop

Dr Zosia Crosse is a queer, working class writer, living in Bristol, the proud progeny of Polish refugees and Lancashire labourers. She grew up by the muddy sea in Weston-super-Mare and was a young carer. She has 15 years’ teaching experience and over a decade of experience working in the women’s sector with survivors of domestic and sexual violence. She writes fiction and poetry, and her PhD thesis explored writing feminist fiction as a means of processing trauma. She recently delivered collaborative workshops on how creative writing can be used to decolonize academia at the University of Naples “L’Orientale”, Italy. Her current research and writing investigates biomythography as a method of writing for marginalized people. Her poetry will be published by Late Britain Press this summer, and her academic work will feature in Writing in Practice later in the year. She loves coffee and swimming. And yes, they go very well together.
