I'm sure this is a very tacky use of the comment wall, but we're interested in bringing you to the College of Charleston this school year to do an op ed workshop with our faculty. What's the best way to get in touch with you about that?

All best, Marilyn

Welcome to the Bay area group. I'm interested in following the work of the Op'Ed Project. Is this something the Clayman Institute at Stanford is involved with?
