This article focuses on a lecture given at Michigan Technological University , Oct. 11, by WSU professor Ruth Ray, known for her work in feminist gerontology. In her comments about "Community Based Writing Groups," Ray cited an exercise where WSU sophomores were paired with senior citizens to learn and write about their lives as a way of learning more about the elderly. "We wanted to bring an emphasis on sharing stories of faith and spirituality," she said. The article provides a Web site address for the WSU English Department for more information on "community writing" of the type Ray discussed.
