Events

In addition to our core faculty, composed of working writers, the Jack Kerouac School invites more than sixty guest faculty members and writers each year, including the Allen Ginsberg Visiting Fellow, the Leslie Scalapino Memorial Lecturer in Innovative Poetics, What Where Series, fourthirtythree: Caged!, and the JKS Symposium. These events foster an intensely creative environment for students to develop their writing projects in conversation with a community of writers.
