Visiting Assistant Professor of Literature and Creative Writing Anne Valente was recently awarded a three-week residency with the Women’s International Study Center (WISC) in Santa Fe, N.M. She plans to use her time at Acequia Madre House (House of the Three Wise Women) to research and work on a new novel set in Santa Fe. Her trip will take place during winter break.
According to its website, the WISC residency program is open to “artists, writers, scholars, professionals, innovators, and entrepreneurs” working in areas aligned with the organization’s focus areas, “broadly defined as the arts, sciences, cultural preservation, business and philanthropy,” as they relate directly to the interests and experiences of women.
