These narratives, still in progress, illuminate diverse facets of human experience, from cultural identity to personal growth and resilience. This event promises to be an enriching exploration of autobiographical narratives and their significance in contemporary literature and academic discourse. Following the readings, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a dynamic discussion and pose questions to the panelists.
