UGA's iconic North Campus features buildings and spaces–many more than a century old–that are architecturally diverse, aesthetically charming, and rich in history, lore, and legend. Attendees will get a close-up look at these landmarks on a walking tour starting at the Arch and covering much of the North Campus area. We will visit the oldest building in Athens; the beautiful UGA Chapel; the site of the first murder on campus; the charming Founders Memorial Garden; and the field where the first college football game in Georgia was played. The tour will last 90 minutes, entails walking the entire time and climbing up and down steps and on moderate inclines.

Discussing the quotes and short passages from books and essays shared by the presenter should prove enlightening, thought provoking, and liberating. Plan to bring and share your favorite quotes, aphorisms, etc. If all too many bumper stickers are indeed lamentably simplistic, we fortunately also have available to us many nuggets of wisdom on those things that should concern us most. Although unfamiliar to most people, these sagacious insights can help us to think in fundamentally new ways, less cynically and more critically and empathetically.

As we walk through our lives as writers, thinkers, authors, and scholars, we can recognize the ways in which our communities are being silenced. The way to wage war, is by first, to erase knowledge, histories, and languages. Erasure is the key to keep marginalized groups oppressed. We see this happening with book bans, and the erasure of true histories being taught in educational institutions, the repealing of laws that protect our autonomy and speech, and the ways in which we are forced to bear witness to systems that legalize our oppression. We are simultaneously witnessing the loss of our humanity, and as writers it is our responsibility to illuminate our beings, to reflect on the ways in which our world participates in the cycles of hate, hurt, and chaos. In our time together, we will think about how our writing can serve as a tool, a pathway, a seat at the table, a psalm, and a light towards liberation. Our goal for this course is to be present, but also, to live in the imagined.
