Professor Dinty W. Moore, Director of Creative Writing
English Professor Dinty W. Moore, Director of Creative Writing at Ohio University, recently judged an international writing contest at Writing for Peace where participants, age 13-19, are asked to write an 800-1000 word essay about a social, political, environmental, or familial challenge faced by individuals within a cultural group, or a personal experience with another culture. The three winners were from New York, New Jersey, and Ho Chi Minh City.
Through education and creative writing, Writing for Peace seeks to cultivate the empathy that allows minds to open to new cultural views, to value the differences as well as the hopes and dreams that unite all of humanity, to develop a spirit of leadership and peaceful activism. Moore is an adviser for Writing for Peace.
