The Stories that Shape Us

Who do we think we are? And how did we get this way?  Societies are built on stories, and the media have become modern-day storytellers with an endless supply of tales to tell. In this interactive session, we'll examine media from different times and places (including from your very own living room!) to better understand how their stories have shaped the way we see ourselves (and others) in the world--for better and for worse.
