How do we write narratives that dramatize our personal experience in ways others will understand? How do we weave in historical and theoretical information about gender that will deepen our experience? This workshop will provide narrative techniques for conveying one’s personal experience of negotiating their gender identity and expression. Students will practice incorporating historical, scientific, and theoretical ideas about gender into their personal narratives.
