Class 6: Writing Therapeutically, Vulnerably, Evocatively

from 5.5.08

pg 136: "My research usually has therapeutic value for me, other participants, and/or readers, and any dialogue between my participants and me can become a process of mutual exploration."

*Would interviewing the other PC ET evacuees be a good idea?

pg 138: a note on vulnerability. Dorothy Allison said she wants to "take the reader by the throat, break her heart, and heal it again."

pg 139: one of the students writes about the first time she had sex with her husband after cancer treatment. That's vulnerable. Could I go there - relations in the PC?
