F. Sionil José: Writer in Residence at Stanford University

The Writer in Residence Program brings writers from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds for one-month visits to the Stanford campus. The program puts writers in direct contact with students, the Stanford community in general, and the local community as a whole, strengthening the connections between the teaching and the practice of literature. During their residency, writers will give one public lecture and/or participate in panels with other writers and in public interviews; visit language and literature classes; and hold office hours.
