Narrative research, participation, and social transformation

Narrative research is a dynamic and growing field in the social sciences. It frequently engages with issues of social justice and social change, particularly in the current context of global inequalities, conflict, mobility and precarity. How to address these issues in our methods, for instance through the involvement of research participants, and through relating research processes and analyses to social transformation, is a common and complex question. In November 2016, UK researchers will have the opportunity to develop their work in this field through a number of research and training events, in London and Edinburgh, with NCRM International Visitors, Professor Jill Bradbury, Witwatersrand University, and Professor Michelle Fine, City University of New York.
