Narrating Change

Narrative is often over-used in academic and public discourses, but rarely understood. The ways of narrative in life and scholarship are wily. In academic discourse, narratives are sometimes seen to mask injustice—and, thus, require loosening. But when do we make the shift from “narrative” to “narrating?” This seminar will undertake to analyze “narrative” as both a concept and process, examining such constructs as “collective narrative” and “counter narrative,” and their relationship to concepts like culture, regulation, solidarity, ideology, resistance, and diversity. Ideally, the literary and legal scholars, psychologists, anthropologists, philosophers, journalists, educators, political scientists, artists, and others participating in large and small events of the “Narrating Change” seminar will end each year with a richer understanding of the uses of narrative as a means of examining and participating in social and individual consciousness and change.

    Adjuncts and graduate students are being asked to take on larger and larger percentages of college teaching assignments, and we barely know anything at all about what that is like for them as they learn to teach across the nation! At some CUNY institutions, up to 80% of the courses are taught by adjuncts and graduate students!
    So please consider helping out as we try to do good works for graduate students! Simply click the link and participate in the survey. There is a raffle for $50 gift cards coming up!
