Narrating Change
Spring 2024
Division I
Writing Skills Difference, Power, and Equity
Class Details
How do we narrate change? Change is radical (from radix, “root,” thus pertaining to what is essential) when it alters how we experience, think, and act. If we change radically, and the structure of our experience is altered, how are we then to connect what comes before to what comes after? On the other hand, if change does not cause such a transformation in the self, then how is it experienced? The works we will consider in this class will help us examine the ways human beings work through, think about, and represent change.
