Narrative research has gained popularity and relevance in diverse disciplines and has become a diverse, complex and contested field. Multiple theoretical approaches, methods, strategies of analysis coexist under the term "narrative". The workshop is designed as a space for dialogue, integration and exchange on narrative research in order to explore the potential of this field.

As doctoral researchers our aim is to bring together PGR students interested or working in narrative research from different disciplines and theoretical/methodological approaches. We want to create a friendly space to share and discuss our work.

Two distinguished professors will be participating in the workshop:

Professor Corinne Squire, Chair of Global Inequalities, School for Policy Studies, University of Bristol. Co-director Association of Narrative Research and Practice
Professor Molly Andrews, Professor of Political Psychology, University College London. Co-Director Association of Narrative Research and Practice
