JRLC 110Storytelling for Social Impact
Stories are fundamental to what it means to be human. This course introduces students to the history, social context and techniques of storytelling and takes students through the research, writing and performing process of storytelling from the personal to the communal, with an emphasis on social impact storytelling, purposeful stories that drive action on social issues. Students engage with the model of “The Moth” radio hour and podcast by listening to and analyzing a wide array of stories told before a live audience, as well as writing and performing three stories during the quarter, using techniques learned in class and from skilled storytellers and theater faculty.
