Narrative Matters 2008: An Interdisciplinary Conference on Narative
Research, Perspectives, Practices and Issues

Theme: Storying our World
Location: University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Dates: May 7-10, 2008
Deadline: September 30, 2007

As humans we continually story our experiences. We construct our world
through our personal, community, institutional and political narratives.
The 2008 Narrative Matters conference theme aims to explore all of these
narrative sites. Narrative continues to gain recognition as something
people do, use and research. The Narrative Matters conference provides a
meeting place for people interested in doing, using and researching
narrative in diverse contexts and fields. The blurring and crossing of
boundaries catalyzes discussion and inquiry at Narrative Matters
conferences. We invite proposals for papers, presentations or
participatory sessions on a variety of topics around the practice, use and
research of narrative. We encourage proposals that take advantage of the
nature of narrative. Proposals, and the presentations themselves, can be
in either English or French. Les propositions, ainsi que les
communications elles-mêmes; peuvent être en anglais ou en francais.
