What is The Radical Hospitality Project?

The Radical Hospitality Project

The Radical Hospitality Project is the product of a partnership between the Midwest Writing Center and The Galvin Fine Arts Center at St Ambrose University.

Our project includes an upcoming print publication, a spoken word contest and this podcast all centered around the St. Ambrose College of Arts & Sciences 23-24 annual theme “Radical Hospitality.”

We hope that our project helps to expand empathy and advocates for a less cruel world.
