Ancient Wisdom, Modern Women: Harnessing the Universal Elements of Your Hero(ine)'s Journey

Speaker: Mary Reding, Writer and Writing Center Director at Upper Iowa University

Mary Reding has spent the better part of her life as a student: earning advanced degrees in English and Education with specialization in heroic archetypes, mentorship, systems of privilege, and the hidden curriculum. Currently, she dedicates half her time to tending various pets and plants on a farm in the Middle of Nowhere, Iowa. The other half she devotes to dreaming up new fantasy worlds for children. In the in-between, she is a mentor and scholar: advising college students on their academic journey. In the after-ward, she plans to haunt bookshops - all sorts.

All are welcome. All are worthy. All belong.

We are proud to be a 100% donation-supported organization. Our spaces, speakers, and programming are all gifted by those who support our vision. #bettertogether
