Mobilizing Narratives for Policy and Social Change, a Partnership Development Grant by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) led by Dr. Marlene Janzen Le Ber and Dr. Helene Berman, has kicked off its second year. A recent project workshop featured discussion around early-stage data analysis, initial findings from the critical interpretive synthesis of existing literature, and continued dialogue led by the project’s indigenous partners on cultural and historical dynamics of narrative use.
The project seeks to understand current and potential impacts of narrative methodologies, and create new, meaningful ways to evaluate these impacts, with particular attention to system-level change. Keep an eye on this newsletter for continued updates as the project unfolds.
