What’s the Story? A Memoir writing class
Do you have some stories you’d like to tell? There may be stories about your life that you want to tell your children or grandchildren, perhaps about another country or culture you came from or your parents came from. Was there an experience that changed your life or your neighborhood? How about if you were in the military and you want to share something about that? If you have a desire to share or describe anything that you are fascinated by, care about or even want to change, this class is a place to do that.
What’s the Story is a 10-week writing class that intends to provoke, free and guide anyone to write a memoir that reflects their own unique voice and life experience. There will be interaction with everyone in the class, homework, time for each person to talk about their writing or their questions about what they would like to write as well as feedback from the teacher. Anyone who chooses may read their writing at a designated time period during the class.
Susan Hasho is a developmental editor which is an editor involved in the mysterious process of enabling writers and anyone interested in writing to find their way through the maze of expectations, judgement and even fear to find the true heart of what they want to write. She has trained and worked as an actor and writer, and moved into the advertising field to work as a copy editor for advertising agencies and Fortune 500 companies. She began working with writers several years ago as an editor and it became her goal to teach a writing class that would enable people to be as free of self-criticism and inhibiting expectations as possible in order to write clearly and openly with joy.

Join UofO, Edgar Rivera Colon, and Robert Sember for a 10-week course on Marx’s Capital.

“Is there wisdom in Marx that can help us address what troubles us today? This ten-session mini-course will allow us to hear Marx’s words in our own voices while connecting to our life stories as neighbors, family members, organizers, workers, artists, creators and educators. Each session will focus on key extracts from chapters in Marx’s Capital, Volume 1. No preparation or prior study of reading Capital is required. Just a desire to listen with intention, learn, and participate in dialogue. The goal of our mini-course is to have you tune into Marx using your life experiences and knowledges as a path into critical social analysis and community-building. This is NOT an exhaustive reading of Capital. Rather, it is an invitation to knowing and understanding a text that has guided social justice movements across the world since it was published in 1867.”
