Workshop

Writing Memoir Through an Intersectional Lens

With: 
Raechel Anne Jolie

Memoir focuses on a particular theme or themes of a person’s life. Intersectionality is a complex term formulated by Black legal scholar, Kimberlee Crenshaw, to denote the way different aspects of our identity overlap in relationship to systems of power. This framework is ideal to bring to memoir since it requires critical self-reflection about how our gender, race, class, sexuality (etcetera) matters in how we move through the world.  

Throughout the course, students will be guided through exercises to help understand their intersectional identities; read and discuss examples of intersectional memoir; and brainstorm and workshop ideas for their own intersectional narrative writing.

Writing Memoir Through an Intersectional Lens takes place remotely online via Zoom.
