Call for Papers, Narrative Matters 2008
Narrative Matters 2008: An Interdisciplinary Conference on Narative Research, Perspectives, Practices and Issues
Theme: Storying our World
Location: University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Dates: May 7-10, 2008
Deadline: September 30, 2007
As humans we continually story our experiences. We construct our world through our personal, community, institutional and political narratives. The 2008 Narrative Matters conference theme aims to explore all of these narrative sites. Narrative continues to gain recognition as something people do, use and research. The Narrative Matters conference provides a meeting place for people interested in doing, using and researching narrative in diverse contexts and fields. The blurring and crossing of boundaries catalyzes discussion and inquiry at Narrative Matters
conferences. We invite proposals for papers, presentations or participatory sessions on a variety of topics around the practice, use and research of narrative. We encourage proposals that take advantage of the nature of narrative. Proposals, and the presentations themselves, can be in either English or French. Les propositions, ainsi que les communications elles-mêmes; peuvent être en anglais ou en francais.
