My Enviromental Autobiography

This past fall semester, I took a seminar course titled “Environmental Psychology: An Exploration of Space and Place” which focused on the relationship between a person and their environment. One of the writing assignments prompted us to write an “Environmental Autobiography” detailing the places, spaces, and environments of your childhood and how they made you the person you are today while also citing academic readings from the class. This essay was my favorite assignment of the semester and I recently realized just how well it fits with the theme of our upcoming zine about second chances, wasted spaces, and the idea of a person as a mosaic. So, I have decided to share my environmental autobiography, to inspire you to make your own, whether it be through an essay, pictures, paintings, or any other art your heart desires.
