Class Description

Description

Memoir lets us tell the stories we’ve been carrying around for years—the ones we've been wanting to share.

Yet part of the magic of writing is that it helps us uncover other stories, too: ones we didn’t even know we had inside. Whether it springs from a long-ago family saga, a shift in our lives, or an encounter just last week that speaks to history or identity, memoir can help us find new aspects of ourselves, give others the chance to reflect on their own experiences, and use even small moments to explore larger ideas. 

In this course, students will produce and share original autobiographical work, examine aspects of craft such as voice, structure, and pacing, and engage in critical conversations around topics such as memory, truth (and “truth”), writing about living people, research, and more. 

In order to gain a better understanding of the elements that contribute to successful storytelling and the medium’s many possibilities, students will also look at a diverse array of published work.
