Students are required to analyse developments in the field in relation to their implications for own practice in their own local cultural context.

Intended learning outcomes

Students who complete this subject should be able to:

  • Compare and contrast different ways in which narrative practices are engaged with children, young people and adults; with individuals, groups, organizations and communities.
  • Articulate and distinguish how differing cultural, class, gendered, age contexts influence the shape of narrative practices
  • Examine and question how the narrative practices engaged by practitioners in different contexts could be put into practice in their local context
  • Propose adaptations that may be necessary in order for narrative approaches developed elsewhere to be relevant and resonant in their own context
