Recreate your parents on the written page and discover how the process involves creating yourself anew in a seminar-style class. Writing about our parents can be a daunting task, often requiring years of reflection and distance. Yet striving to interpret these foundational relationships is a way to claim our own voices in the legacies we inherit. We will examine a variety of essays and stories that can provide models for how we might access the truth and scope of parental relationships—and the inspiration to find the courage to do so. Each week, we will examine an assigned reading focusing on the parental relationship, and students will share their own writing assignments.
Required reading: Class handouts
