Call for Papers and Presentations
NARRATIVE MATTERS 2008
An Interdisciplinary Conference on Narrative Research, Perspectives,
Practices and Issues
Theme: Storying the World
Location: University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Dates: May 7-10, 2008
Deadline: June 22, 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 should be sent using our web page form by June 22,
2007. Proposal, 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./
