Storytelling has long been an educational tool. In Storytelling in Participatory Arts with Young People: The Gaps in the Story, Catherine Heinemeyer traces the century-long evolution of “storyknowing,” the way stories become knowledge. Educators, mental health counselors, and storytellers who purposely work with youth see different narrative worlds interweave. Heinemeyer addresses the potential of storytelling with and by adolescents and focuses on the gaps within the traditional triangular relationship between listener, storyteller, and story. These gaps include the happenings and interactions from listener to storyteller, from storyteller to story, and from story to listener. While many of the particular needs of youth have not changed significantly over the decades, Heinemeyer proposes that through social media and accessible technological tools to make, today’s youth have expanded capabilities to tell their stories and to represent themselves to peers and adults.

Abstract:Community-engaged research in Indigenous communities constitutes an exercise of self-representation and community empowerment, through which storytelling and photo-story serve as decolonial research methodologies Photo-story may be employed at the individual or collective level, stimulating critical conversations about the past and present-day realities in Indigenous communities In this work, I document a photo-story project in a P'urhépecha community of Michoacán, Mexico The paper engages storytelling as a theoretical and methodological framework and highlights the relevance of photo-story for Indigenous historical research in community spaces Through an analysis of the project I discuss in this work, I argue that photo-story is a powerful methodological tool that enhances storytelling and contributes to the critical development of community-based projects to document, transmit, and preserve Indigenous knowledges.

Abstract:This article emerges from the assumption that, as transformative learners, practitioners can use storytelling to work through challenging experiences We used the 6-Part-Story Method (6PSM) to aid in the context of reflective and reflexive practice We explore one student's experience in a master's-level course that introduces, through experiential learning, process consulting to students By using storytelling to explore her work with a client, the practitioner shares how the particular method enabled her to look at her own practice We outline how the 6PSM as a structured storytelling process enables student consultants to reflexively understand the clients they work with and enable them to gain greater professional and personal self-development.

G alen Strawson is best known for his work on free will, particularly the “basic argument,” in which he demonstrates four steps that render free will impossible. Things That Bother Me is a rattle-bag of philosophical essays—many of which have been published before in different formats, or delivered as lectures— that have been edited and tied up into one collection. In it Strawson addresses free will, the future after death, moral responsibility, and the fallacy of the narrative sense of self. He also, intriguingly, eschews the idea that physical science might one day deliver a final explanation of consciousness (and he does this en route to arguing for panpsychism). This might sound like the kind of publication that could sit glowering at you from your bookshelf until one morning, girded with a good night’s sleep and mug of black coffee, you feel brave enough to pit your mind against it. However, Strawson’s concision, wit, and often surprising openness might make you read through in one sitting to the final essay, a vivid and sensual autobiographical
G alen Strawson以其关于自由意志的工作而闻名,尤其是“基本论点”,他在其中展示了使自由意志不可能实现的四个步骤。《困扰我的事》是一本哲学散文集,其中许多以前曾以不同的形式出版,或以讲座的形式发表,经过编辑并装订成一本。斯特劳森在书中谈到了自由意志、死后的未来、道德责任和叙事自我意识的谬误。有趣的是,他也回避了物理科学可能有一天会对意识做出最终解释的想法(他这样做是为了支持泛精神主义)。这听起来像是一本可以坐在书架上怒目而视的出版物,直到有一天早上,你睡了个好觉,喝了一杯黑咖啡,你才觉得自己有足够的勇气去反对它。然而,斯特劳森的简洁、机智和常常令人惊讶的开放性可能会让你一口气读完最后一篇文章,这是一本生动而感性的自传体

Abstract:This article describes an approach to data collection—termed narrative co-construction—developed during a study on the perspectives of young people attending an inner-city school located in Winnipeg, Manitoba It presents a practical method for implementing this process through the combined use of two tools, Journey Mapping and Co-Constructed Tree of Life Mapping A typology of stories (based on the field of narrative therapy) is also presented This work contributes to methodological understandings of storytelling-based research and is particularly relevant to those who, drawing on Freirean philosophy, seek to study both the material and subjective dimensions of phenomena Further, it details an approach for working with young people that helps them identify their own strengths, capacities, resources, and preferred stories of self.

Abstract:Based on observations of video conference story slams, this article uses Marshall and Eric McLuhan's "laws of media" to propose a video conference tetrad The article also compares the resulting tetrad to a previous tetrad of video conferencing among mobile knowledge workers The purpose of the analysis is to better understand this medium and how it changes when used in different settings Story slam video conference extends the face and presence, retrieves (brings into new use) text, obsolesces (displaces) in-person performance, and reverses into facelessness and a lack of presence These findings suggest hosts should lean in to the opportunities for connection provided by video conferencing without overextending the medium This tetrad differs from the earlier one, illustrating the agency of humans when interacting with technology.

Abstract:In this article we discuss a digital and interactive storytelling project called Life/Ways, involving college students. We consider the design, production, and evaluation of the project, and share insights into successes and challenges related to introducing students to new models of self-expression. We learned useful lessons during the project, including the possibility of introducing students to the basics of digital and interactive story creation in a relatively brief workshop format, and about using nondigital personal storytelling exercises, readings, and techniques as effective bridges to more complex digital design and production techniques. We also noted areas for refinement in future iterations, such as the need to require concrete follow-up after the workshop to ensure students were making appropriate progress.

Abstract:In this article we introduce the creative writing workshop “Dear Breath” and explore how those living with breathlessness tell the story of their breathlessness through letters. We explore what types of character letter writers bestow on breath (as friend, ally, or enemy) and whether they locate the troubling plotline of their breathlessness as a problem in the air or within their body. Starting with the premise that letters are stories, we were interested in how the choice of materials became part of the storytelling. Through creating letters as visual stories, participants discover which type of story they are in (restitution, resolution, or retribution). We explore two thematic storylines: stories that explore the boundaries between breath, body, air, and personhood; and stories that explore the impermanence of the breath as “other” and entreaties for it to stay. We share visual examples of practice.

Abstract:This special issue of Storytelling, Self, Society emerges from the “Storytelling for Health” conference that took place in Swansea, Wales, in the summer of 2017. In this introduction we will explore the context for the conference and describe some of the key debates that arose out of the conference. We will explore some of the impacts from the conference, which we collected in a modest piece of research afterward. We will also explore how the articles included in this volume continue to expand on some of these debates.
