We will investigate "autobiographical" memory, our link to generations past and indeed to our own past. Is this kind of memory accurate? How does it work? What does it mean? Above all, what is its power? The course is a distillation of John Kotre's book White Gloves (purchase would be helpful but not necessary). Topics include the perfect memory, memory's truth, the autobiographical memory system, memory in the young, memory in the mature, and memory inspirited. Mr. Kotre is a retired "narrative" psychologist from UM-Dearborn and creator of the award-winning PBS series Seasons of Life. This class for adults 50+ meets Tuesdays through April 5th.
