WRT 225 - Life Stories: Ethnographic Writing

Students will learn how to research a subject’s personal, cultural, historical and social past and how to conduct an in-depth interview. Working with a community partner from a very different walk of life to their own, they will conduct a recorded interview that explores some significant aspect of their partner?s past, and create an extended story suitable for publication and/or archiving. The importance and meaning of story both to the individual and society, will be explored in detail.
