In this creative writing lecture, reflection on food memories will introduce participants to storytelling that engages the senses. Examining some tools of the craft used by food writers will help us share personal stories to savor!
Course Format
Masterclasses are a newer feature of the SBS Community Classroom Program. Masterclasses are taught by an expert instructor as a one-time workshop-style class. The class will be interactive according to the subject matter and students will get the opportunity for Q&A with the instructor(s). The Masterclasses are part of existing undergraduate courses, allowing community members to learn alongside UArizona students.
