Program Description
Stories connect us. We are born into the world already imprinted with stories—where we’re from, our forebears, our family situation—and we move forward into our lives while shaping our own stories and, perhaps, setting down a storyline for those who will follow us. Join novelist Craig Lancaster (600 Hours of Edward, And It Will Be a Beautiful Life) for a discussion about the power of memory, the transformative agent of imagination, and how those two things, in concert, can fuel lives of creativity, civic engagement, and understanding and help establish common ground.
