Creative Autobiography - Spring 2018

Through an autobiographical project utilizing a creative format, students should demonstrate how various aspects of their identities intersect and influence their perspectives on themselves as well as their perspectives on others. Consider what is affirming about one’s selected identities and/or experiences; any experiences that made one feel devalued, marginalized, or invisible; and the privileged spaces that one inhabits.
