This is a new edition of the 2020-2021 women's memoirs class. Each month instructor Beth Spencer will send out ahead of class three excerpts from memoirs that speak to a particular theme.
Although not a writing class, participants will be expected to write a brief response to a theme-focused trigger question ahead of class. Readings will be discussed by the whole group, followed by small group discussions of writing. Possible themes include overcoming challenges; relationship with food; immigrant experiences.
Beth Spencer is a retired geriatric social worker with 25 years of university teaching experience and several years of leading OLLI classes. This study group will meet Friday January 21, February 18, March 18 and April 22.
Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.
