Narrating Change: Stories for Collective Action

Catalog description

Students explore ways stories can be used to guide organizational and community change, and draw from ethnography’s focus on narrative and traditions of participatory and action-oriented research. In a dynamic interplay of theory and practice, students alternately study underlying principles of story-based change while they engage in an application project that utilizes stories from their own organization or community in cycles of reflection and action.
