HUM 195-03 - Introductory Special Topic: Personal Storytelling for Social Impact

.5 credits (Spring Term 2)

Social media and increasingly affordable technology have changed the media landscape so that anyone with a microphone and an internet connection can use storytelling to frame personal experiences around societal or cultural issues to reclaim their voice, catalyze social change, and foster authentic community. In this course, students will learn to craft, refine, and share a personal story of their choosing, and explore potential pathways for reaching a wider audience with their story. This course is sponsored by the Wilson Center for Innovation and Leadership.
