The workplace looms large in our lives and culture, but is often neglected in memoir. Let's fix that! This generative class blends seminar-style lecture, weekly readings, informal feedback sessions, and flexible prompts as a portal to writing about the weird, inspiring, infuriating, complicated places (physical or virtual) where we spend so much time and energy. Students will leave with concrete skills for writing vibrant work memoir, plus multiple pieces of writing ripe for further development.
