The 36th Annual Eudora Welty Writers' Symposium
“Keep out from under these feet… I got a long way”
Resilience and Resistance in the South
Inspired by Eudora Welty's story "A Worn Path"
The Eudora Welty Writers' Symposium is held each October in honor of The W's most famous alumna. A diverse group of Southern writers and scholars are invited to present their work. A highlight of the symposium is the announcement of the Eudora Welty Prize for an unpublished book of scholarship.
All Symposium events will be held October 24-26, 2024 on the MUW campus and are free and open to the public. The Symposium will also be live-streamed online.
The Welty Series is made possible through the generous support of the Robert M. Hearin Support Foundation.
