The benefits of the story-telling/story-listening loop within participatory research: Exploring diverse experiences and methods for the co-production of knowledge.
In a time of worrying ‘critical misunderstandings’ worldwide, this talk – linked to the soon to be published by Smithsonian Scholarly Press open access book ‘Story Work for A Just Future’ edited by Antonia Liguori, Philippa Rappoport, Daniela Gachago – explores the value of co-created “Story work”.
In particular, we will focus on how different storytelling approaches could blur boundaries and expand opportunities for collaborative research, while proposing mutual learning and co-creation of knowledge as a way forward to improve our society. Key questions prompted by this talk are:
• How do we make the digital storytelling practice further expand globally in a way that is both locally-tailored-led-owned, but also coherent with the original ethos?
• Is co-creation an infallible antidote to exclusion and marginalization?
• Can we determine when digital storytelling ends and a new practice starts, if they are based on the same ethos?
