Writers from marginalised communities are often tasked with writing for, or about, their communities. Join Robin Eames, Blair Wise and April-Rose Desalegn as they discuss the expectations and implications of writing about marginality, and the problem of speaking for others. Who has the authority to speak? Who is denied authority, or opportunity? Who keeps us accountable, and who do we keep to account?
