How do our lives become narratives? Stories? Movies? Paintings? How can you see the full scope of your life when this is the only one you know? This class will discuss writing as a way of forming narratives, but also provide the sociological perspectives on how society limits us from achieving our full potential as individuals. In fact, we can even envision & construct as a class what the ideal society for becoming your true self looks like.
