How can narratives help shape how research on sustainable transformation is understood, communicated and explored within and across disciplines? This question will be addressed in a series of two workshops taking place this spring. The workshops are organised with the support of Umeå Transformation Research Initiative, UTRI.
The workshops are open to researchers from all disciplines who are interested in engaging with narrative approaches in relation to their own research.
In this workshop we build on perspectives introduced in Workshop 1: Climate fiction and future narratives but it is not a requirement to have participated in Workshop 1.
For this workshop we ask participants to bring a text/example that you would like to work with. It could be an introduction to an article, a popular scientific text, a manuscript for a video/podcast, your presentation on UMU:s webpage, or something else. Recommended length of the text: 100-400 words (please bring 4 paper copies). Participants will in small groups read and work with these examples
The workshop will be led by: Matilda Marshall, Maria Lindgren Leavenworth and Elena Lindholm.
