Autumn Term Session 2: Application of narrative to projects

This builds on the first session and looks more closely at how narrative has been applied to projects in specific fields. While it is not necessary to have attended Session 1, this session assumes a familiarity with narrative research, and is aimed at those either intending to use or already using it in their doctoral project.

Each session will consist of a lecture-style presentation in the first half, followed by a more interactive discussion, with an opportunity for students to discuss their own work.
