The Poetics and Politics of Storytelling in Healthcare Contexts

Storytelling matters. People derive a sense of what to believe and how to act from stories shared at kitchen tables and on front porches, in classrooms and healthcare clinics, in news reports and through art exhibits. We live, we grieve, and we story with others as we narrate birthing and dying and turning points in between. Join us for an interactive session on the poetics and politics of storytelling in therapeutic contexts. We will explore how storytelling fosters resilience among individuals and groups facing vulnerability and how narrative logics function in healthcare.
