CRN: 35722 WGST 20: Ourstories

Course Information

WGST 20 is a course that will focus on the power of storytelling as an art and tool that connects us to feminist generations past and future. Throughout the class we'll explore oral histories, activist ethnography, and other means of sharing our stories. Students will have the opportunity to creatively experiment with modalities such as zines, podcast/story recording, creative writing, visual storytelling, and other forms that resonate. Students will learn the structure of storytelling archetypes and study a number of stories available to us through published letters, oral history recordings, and other lesser visited archival materials.

Important Dates

WGST 20: Ourstories will be taught in Spring 2025 as a completely online course with scheduled meetings via zoom.
