Ep. 3: Towards A More Inclusive Society
How do writers overcome adversity, and deal with difference in our work? How do we respectfully include diverse perspectives and voices onto our platforms? Ayu Candi Sari and Karisa Poedjirahardjo chat with Jenelyn Leyble about diversity in literature and the literary scene.
This episode is part of Bridging Worlds Through Words, a podcast which takes a look at writing and its intersections. Do categories describe or define the work? Similarly, what defines a “migrant” or “local” in Singapore, and how distinct are these identities, really? Join our writers as they search for common ground through literature. Bridging Worlds Through Words is presented by Migrant Writers of Singapore and supported by Sing Lit Station and The Majurity Trust.
