This event marks the launch of two books: Narrative Imagination and Everyday Life (Oxford 2014) by Molly Andrews (NOVELLA and Centre for Narrative Research, University of East London) and Living with HIV and ARVS: Three-letter Lives (Palgrave 2013) by Corinne Squire (NOVELLA and Centre for Narrative Research, University of East London). Both books examine connections between the ways in which people narrate their current lived realities, their understandings of the present and its histories, and their construction of alternative storylines for the future.
These themes are developed in the symposium's other contributions. Ann Phoenix (Thomas Coram Research Unit, Institute of Education, and NOVELLA) will talk about her work on the situated imagination, and Michael Murray (Centre for Psychological Research, Keele University) will discuss his work on the life stories of community workers. Jane Elliott (NOVELLA and Institute of Education) will be the discussant. Part of the afternoon will be devoted to a collective exercise of making sense of the stories people tell about their lives.
The day will conclude with a reception and book launch, introduced by Maria Tamboukou (Feminist Research Group and Centre for Narrative Research, University of East London).
Symposium fees: £30 (£15 for students).
