Storied Community-Based Learning Environments: Designing with Storywork, Storylistening, and Narrative Inquiry

Abstract

We explore how the methodologies of Storywork, Storylistening, and Narrative Inquiry can support community-engaged scholarship. We discuss the varying approaches to storying contained within these three traditions and suggest that community-engaged scholars can benefit from drawing on elements of each to (1) consider the value of place-stories circulating within research spaces, and (2) to design educational spaces that convene a diversity of place-stories, further enriching and complicating researcher engagement with stories.
