MEMOIR-MAKING WHEN MEMORY IS UNDER THREAT OF ERASURE
Writing Studies faculty at all career stages are invited to join us on February 10 from 3:00-4:15 EST. Eastern for a virtual conversation with
Rebecca Mlynarczyk and Norbert Elliot on Memoir Writing
co-hosted by the CCCC Standing Groups for Senior, Late-Career, and Retired Professional in Rhetoric and Writing Studies (SGSLR) and the Writing Through the Lifespan Collaboration
In a time when memory and the experience of long-lived lives dedicated to the flourishing of literacy is under regular threat of erasure, we look forward to a lively conversation with Rebecca and Norbert on the vital nature of memoir-making, particularly in light of their memoirs published in 2025 by Purple Breeze Press.
For a more detailed description of this interactive session, see Rebecca and Norbert’s welcome letter here: SGSLR Memoir Session 2-10-26 letter.docx Their letter of invitation also includes links to excerpts from their memoirs.
This virtual conversation about the Inspired Leadership Initiative is the second event in the CCCC Standing Group for Senior, Late Career, and Retired Scholars in Rhetoric and Writing Studies’ 2025-26 series of conversations on Practicing Generosity, Kindness, and Hope, which will culminate in the SGSLR-sponsored session at CCCC: “Old Friends and New Ideas, New Friends and Old Ideas: Practicing Rhetorics and Literacies of Generosity, Kindness, and Hope in Intergenerational Conversations”
