“We’re all writing the narratives of our own lives -- whether we’re literally writing them, or just telling ourselves the stories. We all carry around the narratives that feel most truthful to ourselves. It’s a very interesting aspect of human existence -- how we make sense of our experiences.”
-- Robin Becker, 2010-11 Penn State Laureate
Video footage of the event will be available on YouTube, and a full podcast of the event will be available on iTunesU and the Research Penn State Web site http://www.rps.psu.edu/ online.
