Write it down! Our current mania for documenting every moment with phone photos is a memory-jogger, for sure, but that only goes so far. Guided autobiography instructor Sarah White will give tips on how to start writing your life story at this free talk. She will be joined by Madison writers Joshua Feyen and Cam French, two of White's students, reading from their work featured in the 2022 book Homeward! Personal Stories on the Search for Belonging.
