To avoid confusion, please note that the UEL course advertised in the email below, even though it is circulated to the BNIM-list is does not claim to be, and is not, a course teaching BNIM.

This does not stop it from being possibly a very good course.

Best wishes

The course works at a variety of levels, depending on previous experience and events attended. For graduate students, it may be most suitable as a middle-level graduate training level, involving engaging with, situating, and practicing narrative research (ie beyond the first experience, ‘taster’ level, and prior to the advanced level of participating in wider narrative-methodological networks. It is also suitable for all levels of academic and applied researchers.
