Keynote:
The keynote speaker for this event will be Jennine Capó Crucet, author of Make Your Home Among Strangers (2015, St. Martin’s Press) and How to Leave Hialeah (2009, University of Iowa). The novel, How to Make Your Home Among Strangers, vividly captures the experience of a first generation college student moving between her largely Cuban American home in Miami, Florida and her new life at a predominantly white liberal arts college. The recently released novel is already gaining recognition, having made the short list for the Center for Fiction’s First Novel Prize. Her collection of short stories, How to Leave Hialeah, won the Iowa Short Fiction Price, the John Gardener Book Award, the Devil’s Kitchen Reading Award. She is also an O. Henry Prize recipient and a Bread Loaf Fellow. Currently, she is Assistant Professor of English and Ethnic Studies at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln.
