Methods Talk

In this Methods Talk episode we talk to Prof Sophie Woodward (University of Manchester), Jolene Sheehan (Joy Ethic) and Dr Benjamin Wild (Manchester Metropolitan University).
 
Sophie, Jolene and Ben use storytelling and narratives in their work in various ways. In this episode they talk about the power of stories and their experiences using them, both as an academic research method and a means of building and sustaining community. 
 
The three of them came together with methods@manchester to lead a workshop as part of the 2024 Being Human Festival. You can read a blog about their workshop ‘What’s in your wardrobe? Exploring the power of stories and connections’ here.
 
Sophie and Jolene have collaborated with NCRM to produce a storytelling toolkit. 
You can find out more about Sophie and Ben by visiting their profiles and read more about Jolene’s work with Joy Ethic.
