Writing a Memoir to Understand Your Family
How do memoirists keep their voices distinct while honoring the voice of family members? We will read excerpts from memoirs and study their use of interviews, dialogue, letters, speculation, invention, and memory. Come with photos or mementos of the family you wish to write about.

This workshop is welcome to anyone who works in healthcare. Students will read work by medical providers and patients and then write about what we notice in our bodies, thoughts, and feelings, creating room for empathy, understanding, and connection.
