Writing Modern Nature with Dominic Hinde

Please note that this is an in-person only workshop with limited space, taking place in the downstairs Snug at the Roxy. Access to the Snug is, regrettably, down a flight of stairs with no lift access.

Join award nominated nature writer and sociologist Dominic Hinde for a workshop exploring the challenges and opportunities of writing nature and landscape differently. Based on his critically acclaimed book Drifting North, Dominic will be discussing where nature becomes political and how we draw together the complexities and contradictions of our relationship with land and the natural environment as we try to forge a shared narrative for the future.
