Aimed toward graduate student instructors and other creative writing educators, Teaching Cultural Dexterity in Creative Writing offers a formula for important changes in creative writing instruction-especially in literary/creative nonfiction, probing how instruction might become more inclusive and accessible for minoritized/marginalized student-authors. The book chapters use antiracist, trauma-informed, and anticolonial frameworks toward exploring the 21st-century professional, theoretical, and institutional concerns surrounding creative writing practices in North American higher education. As a result, the book explores ways creative writing pedagogies and theories might be adapted for racially and linguistically marginalized (by English) student-authors, who often inhabit minoritized positions within North American colleges and universities.Applying as a frame the notion of cultural dexterity as it is taught to medical professionals to allow them to engage effectively with patients from all backgrounds, ethnics groups and with all sensitivities, Teaching Cultural Dexterity in Creative Writing examines why and how creative writing instruction needs to be urgently renegotiated. In this essential text for all creative writing instructors, McCray provides all the tools necessary to take positive action with discussions of potential readings, writing prompts and sample course materials.

"This important book offers an ambitious and interdisciplinary vision of how private international law (or, conflict of laws) can and must be at the centre of re-working both our general understandings of law and concrete legal norms in directions that respond to ever-deepening global ecological crises. The author demonstrates why, paradoxically, it is this field of law's specific frontier location at the outpost of the law - where it is viewed from the outside as a mysterious obscurity and from the inside as a self-contained normative world - that generates its potential power to transform law generally and globally. Combining pragmatic and pluralist theory with an excavation of "shadow" ecological dimensions of law, the author, a recognised global expert, offers a truly transnational view. Put simply, it is a generational magnum opus. All international and transnational lawyers, be they in the private and public field, should read this book"--
