Alix Kates Shulman The Story of Your Life: Fiction or Memoir?
Alix Kates Shulman is the prize-winning author of 13 books. From her best-selling debut novel, Memoirs of an Ex-prom Queen (recently reissued as a "feminist classic") to her latest memoir, To Love What Is. She will explore some of the advantages and problems of each form of telling "your story," as the author reveals her own reasons for choosing sometimes one form, sometimes the other. Co-sponsored with the New School Writing Program.

Yuri Dojc, Canadian photographer A Photographic Journey with Yuri Dojc
Yuri Dojc has earned international recognition for his work ranging from cityscapes to nudes. His recent multimedia installation of the "Last Folio" at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in NYC was called "a theater piece; a tableau vivant" by Richard McBee of The Jewish Press. In this lecture, through a series of acclaimed photographs, Dojc becomes our lens on history and memory.
