Tickets for the event sold out in advance and the audience (aided by a British sign language interpreter) were privy to a wide-ranging discussion that explored topics from politics and pop culture and the impacts of the pandemic, to feminism, women’s bodies, sexuality, reading habits and reality television. The group enjoyed an hour’s Q&A with Roxane, covering a wide range of issues, including approaches to creative and critical writing and pitfalls in publishing, friendship and gossip, questions of feminism, sexism and writing about traumatic experience.Ī conversation between Roxane and inclusion and equity specialist – and University graduate – Sharifa Hashem followed, in the Forum Alumni Auditorium on the Streatham Campus. Roxane, considered to be a leading feminist voice of our time, first met with a small group of students drawn from Guild Societies, the Department of English & Creative Writing’s MAs in Publishing and Creative Writing and from Exeter College. Exeter UNESCO City of Literature and the faculty of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences at the University hosted internationally acclaimed author Roxane Gay this month, as part of her first live UK tour.
