Course Descprition

Of the baby born, of the fire down the street, of the new idea bursting to get out of us, we invent the narratives that allow us to navigate the world. The reading, writing and discussions in this seminar examine how life becomes “tellable” gesture. Through the analysis of memoir and the processing of memory, we will apply the techniques of journalistic research toward finding intersections between culture and self towards the realization of creative and as well as informative writing projects.
