The Narrative Practitioner: Developing Excellence in Research, Education and Practice. 11th -13 June 2007
North East Wales Institute of Higher Education Wrexham UK
Call for papers
Across the world much of human life is conducted through narrative accounts of events and experiences. Many of our social institutions are comprised almost entirely of opportunities for sharing these accounts of our lives. We have all had experience of relating to and living vicariously inside the narratives that are told by others for example in literature and film, that are created by writers, using elements of their experience. Narratives therefore offer a method of teaching and communicating with one another about professional matters. The conference will bring together professionals and practitioners who share an interest in the use of narrative in a range of contexts, including pedagogy, practice, research and performance.
Aims of the Conference
To develop a multidisciplinary centre of excellence to inform future research, education and practice
