Workshop Descriptions

Narrative Matters 2008:
An Interdisciplinary Conference on Narative Research, Perspectives, Practices and Issues

Theme: Storying our World
Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Dates: May 7-10, 2008

As humans we continually story our experiences. We construct our world through our personal, community, institutional and political narratives. The 2008 Narrative Matters conference theme aims to explore all of these narrative sites. Narrative continues to gain recognition as something people do, use and research. The Narrative Matters conference provides a meeting place for people interested in doing, using and researching narrative in diverse contexts and fields. The blurring and crossing of boundaries catalyzes discussion and inquiry at Narrative Matters conferences.

We have accepted an exciting array of papers, symposia, performances and participatory sessions.

Abstracts of all presentations will be available soon.
