LIFE WRITING: OUR STORIES, OUR SELVES

Credit Hours: 3 · Undergraduate Lower-Level

We will read and discuss important historical and contemporary examples of “life writing”—memoirs, biographies, autobiographies, diaries, letters—and collect stories from friends, family members, or public figures. Our field experiences will be shared and workshopped, and we will use writing and/or visual storytelling to produce “unfinished memoirs” by the end of the semester.
