76-464 Creative Nonfiction Workshop

9 units, Carnegie Mellon University

Narrative Medicine looks at the intersection of writing and healing. How does narrative help heal the mind, and how are the mind and body inextricably linked? The couse will introduce you to several books and essays centered around the theme of wellness and illness--- and how these modes of being are represented and shaped by culture. You will write your own personal essays on these topics along with a final research paper. A great class for anyone interested in the power of story-telling in our own lives.
