Biography, Autobiography, and Memoir

“Biography, Autobiography, and Memoir” explores the art of personal storytelling and the ways individuals construct and share their identities through narrative. Students will engage with a range of texts—including traditional biographies and autobiographies, graphic memoirs, and documentaries—exploring how these works navigate memory, truth, and self-representation. This course encourages reflection on how personal narratives connect to larger cultural and historical contexts. English electives will feature comparable assessments and workloads, ensuring a balanced academic experience across courses. Second semester electives will also include a research component.
