Are you interested in the intersections of gender, caste, rurality and other such themes in civic storytelling? How do different parts of identity come into play for a single subject of a story? What is the most honest way to tell that story? We need to apply multiple thematic lenses to be able to tell stories with accuracy and compassion. Come to our meetup to hear what journalists and editors have to say about intersections, and join the conversation.
