Toby Brothers (MA Education, Literature) conceived of, developed and leads the London Literary Salon with offerings in Paris, New York, Toronto and other sites. She facilitates dynamic literary seminars specializing in Joyce, Woolf, Baldwin, Morrison, Faulkner, Dante, Proust, Shakespeare, poetry and Greek classics for adults. Her approach uses innovative education techniques that emphasize inclusion and exploration, using each participant’s lived experience and knowledge to build a dynamic reading of the literature. Her interest in literature concerned with race arises from exploration around identity and history, as well as the empowering experience of challenging racism with art. She has a unique ability to guide individuals through difficult & provocative territory in exploring creative expression. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
