A Review of Leigh Marie Dannhauser's 2019 book "Nothing Works But Everything Works Out: My Peace Corps Experience in the West Region of Cameroon

Nothing Works But Everything Works Out

This is a quick report based on one day of research into the relationship between memory and identify. it is meant to provoke questions to see where which aspects of memory we should explore further.  This research is for the show "Every Night In My Dreams" but Sandsmark/Findlay.

Memory Identify

This second report on memory goes a bit deeper into the various types of memory with special attention to autobiographical memory, which we use to maintain our sense of self.  School taught me that humans have long term and short term memory.  Long memory is stuff in the attic with short term being the junk in your room.  Turns out the picture is more complicated and interesting.
