FS 127 - Storytelling

This course explores storytelling as a cultural and familial practice, a form of historical documentation, and a literary art. We consider how stories shape perceptions (of nature, of nation, of community, of family, of self), and vice versa. Examples include diverse modes of engaging others, preserving and defining traditions, and communicating within and across cultures and subcultures through narrative. Students also examine the integration of storytelling practice across various academic and professional fields.
