The genre of life writing is pervasive. Telling the stories of our own lives and the lives of others is a signature of the media in our age. This unit takes students on a journey through various manifestations of life writing from traditional memoir and autobiographies, to newspaper and magazine columns, personal essays, and internet blogs. At the same time, students are encouraged to produce their own personal, self-reflective writing, of a standard suitable for publication. -- Course Website
