Learn more at amyleescott.com.\n\nSynopsis:\nBy age seven\, Amy Lee Scott’s world had already ended—twice. First as an adopted infant\, when she left her Korean motherland for a new American life in suburban Ohio. Then again\, when her adopted mother died of cancer. Orphaned twice over\, Amy picks through the emotional rubble to explore what it means to live in a terminal state of exile\, and the grief\, anxiety\, and anger such a life demands. Join Amy as she discusses the role that grief and trauma play in shaping personal narratives. This interactive presentation invites participants to examine a core memory to begin a dialogue with the historic and natural world's context that surrounds it.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at namhy@umich.edu.
