The Ed Factory is a center for education and cultural studies seminars and one-to-one coaching through writing. Our work brings people together to study language, experience, and the cultural ideas shaping everyday life while engaging in creative production. Participants read, listen, write, revise, and develop new work through live study, guided practice, artistic work, and individual inquiry.

Seminars

Seminars examine education, cultural life, institutions, and social experience through reading, listening, discussion, and creative production. Participants engage with critical texts and multimedia while producing original work that explores how power, history, and perception shape everyday life.

Prose Lab

Prose Lab is a guided coaching space that uses writing as a site of inquiry, decision-making, and action. Sessions may focus on applications, essays, chapters, publication drafts, projects, professional materials, work challenges, or decisions that need clearer language, direction, and movement.

The Teachers Institute is a fellowship for educators who want to work at the intersection of writing, cultural study, and classroom practice. Fellows meet throughout the year with visiting scholars, develop classroom projects, and participate in a community of educators engaged in public intellectual work.
