Transform your personal experiences into an immersive, resonant journey using your senses! This four-week hybrid course will help you unlock the power of sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell to bring your memoir to life. Through engaging activities and guided exercises, you’ll explore the sensory details of key moments in your story and use them to develop your memoir more fully. Students may bring their memoir-in-progress to work with or generate new work in class.
