Hero’s Journey
Social Science/History | Registration opens 5/19/2025 12:00 AM MST (Arizona)
Joseph Campbell provides a detailed model (seventeen stages) of the hero’s journey, and other scholars,
including Dan Vogler, have provided models with fewer stages. In a nutshell, though, in a hero’s journey, the protagonist goes on a journey, overcomes adversity, and is changed by the experience. Books, films, and television shows are filled with such journeys—e.g., Star Wars, The little Engine that Could, Wizard of OZ. This is a VIRTUAL CLASS.
