Humans are natural storytellers. Indeed, it has been suggested that the natural mode of human thought takes a narrative form. This course will present an examination of the scientific study of humans approach to meaningmaking through the crafting and telling of personal stories. The course will include consideration of the ways in which we create meaning out of our experiences with a special emphasis on identity development, drawing on scientific research from personality, developmental, and clinical psychology.
