Due Nov. 25
2 pages, typed and double-spaced
Attend an event in which a biographer or memoirist speaks about the process of researching and writing. (The event can include more than one author). Write a 2- page review in which you discuss what you learned about research and writing a biography and memoir. You should give a sense of what the author said, but do not just summarize the conversation or statements. Discuss questions the event raised for you, what you heard that you might apply to your own research, what, if anything, concerned you or you found problematic, etc.
There are events throughout New York City, at colleges, bookstores, and libraries, among other places.
Places to check for events include:
CUNY
Center for the Study of Women and Society (CUNY)
