In this workshop, we’ll be in conversation with journalists and global thinkers struggling to make sense of the events of our time. As we work on our own personal memoirs, we’ll explore ways to connect the large-scale and public experiences with our own life journeys. This is an interactive course—and I will arrange for us to be in conversation with writers and thinkers across the globe as part of the class. We’ll also experiment with form as the class progresses, considering fragmentation, collage, the interruption of time, the questioning of narrative space and progression, and more. This is going to be a fun and challenging class, one that encourages the profound and sublime while leaning always toward surprise and delight.

LIVE ELEMENTS: Some conversations with writers and thinkers will take place over Zoom.
