The series invites faculty and staff members to summarize their beliefs and values and say who they are in twenty minutes or less. Here is how I tried to do it. Life Matters Peter Berger, in his Invitation to Sociology, points out that autobiographies are always subject to radical revisions.
People continually rewrite their own life-stories, remaking memories to fit present needs.
Right now my own past is being revisited and substantially remodeled. The revised version still contains few references to childhood. It is only in recent months that I have been able to recall any scenes from childhood. But they are coming back. I am beginning to remember and those belated recollections are revelations that prompt reconstructions.
