Course description:
From earliest times, humans have been drawn to stories, adventures, and wanderings. In this era of globalization, more and more people are traveling and recounting their experiences, as well as exploring varieties of approaches to travel and writing.
During our six weeks together, we’ll examine techniques and ideas to make your travel and writing even more meaningful and enjoyable. From pre-trip planning, fishing for details and story ideas while on the road, to crafting a well told tale—whether for publication, friends and family, or your own pleasure and memories—we’ll work together to share ideas regarding travel and writing, workshop our writing, and enjoy turning our adventures into stories.
Professor emerita, Diane taught for many years in Paris, Holland, New York City, and California. Her lifelong women’s rights work has included travels in Afghanistan and subsequent publications. She holds a Ph.D., History of Consciousness, UC Santa Cruz, and M.A., English, UC Berkeley. Diane enjoys encouraging her many students to explore life through writing and travel. www.dianelebow.com
