Typewriter Social

Interested in technologies of bygone eras? Join us for a typewriter social and find out why manual typewriters are making a comeback. Several typewriters will be available to try, and stationery supplies will be provided. Write a poem, a letter, or just hit the keys. If you own a typewriter, feel free to bring it along!

Jessica Winck is an English professor on the UMA Bangor campus. She teaches classes on introductory writing, academic writing, and writing technologies. Typewriters are one of her passions, and she collects them and uses them in her writing process. She also integrates typewriters in her college classes to help students reflect on the past and present of human technologies for writing.
