Institute for Writing and Thinking: Teaching with a Swedish Accent
An old adage refers to teachers and philosophers who send their students out into the world, only to have them return carrying lessons that sound and look remarkably different. But we speak a living language, we tell ourselves; habits and practices are bound to change; our ways of making meaning cannot help but evolve. In some ways this has been the story of Bard’s expanding Institute for Writing and Thinking (IWT). 04-01-2015

The Fourth Genre: Writer and Faculty Member Luc Sante's Inspired Remarks on Creative Nonfiction at IWT Conference
“I always find it momentarily surprising that literary nonfiction is treated as something new and strange. I guess I tend to imagine fiction and nonfiction as fraternal twins, born almost at the same instant, apparently distinct but each unimaginable without the other. They perform complementary functions, and fact and invention each require the existence of the other, perhaps off to the side and perhaps not, to achieve their particular credibility.” 04-25-2012
