UPEP Lecture Series: Education, Art, & Trauma

Presented by Dr. Audrey Thompson

February 15 & 29, 2020

The purpose of this two-session lecture/workshop series is to explore memory and storytelling connected with hard relationships and/or trauma. We will critically examine narrative assumptions and frameworks connected with both “normalcy” and “trauma” and consider ways to better understand our own stories and others.’ In addition, we may be able to dis-organize and begin to re-author our own stories. Among the topics we will take up will be invisibility and erasure, narrative frameworks, and hidden values.

Dr. Audrey Thompson is a professor of Education, Culture, & Society at the University of Utah.
