Storytelling and Young People Coping with Crisis: Oral Narratives and Crisis Management in Kenya and Ethiopia Ghent University
This project focuses on ‘Oral Literature for Development’ (OL4D) as a new line of thinking. We introduce OL4D firmly based on the belief that culture and creativity are central for all people’s development.

Collaborative storytelling is a powerful technique to foster this, but participation platforms, intelligent technologies, legal structures and infrastructure are not ...
The Civic Potential of Urban Storytelling through Interactive Public Displays. KU Leuven

Storytelling identities of interpreters in conflicts: a narrative study of Iraqi interpreters with the US military (2003-2011) KU Leuven
This project explores the identities of Iraqi interpreters who worked for the US military during the Iraq War 2003-2011. Although interpreting studies is a field by itself and there are enormous researches conducted within, very few researchers have tackled interpreting and interpreters using a narrative theory (Baker, 2006, 2010; Harding, 2012; Probirskaja, 2016). However, the application of the narrative theory in interpreting studies to ...
Narrating the Mesh: Ecology and the Non-Human in Contemporary Fiction and Oral Storytelling (NARMESH) Ghent University

The aim is to explore how narrative, in both contemporary (post-1990) fiction and oral storytelling, can (1) capture the ways in which humans are dependent upon the nonhuman world and (2) reconfigure people’s understanding of the nonhuman.
