Friday Forum Seminars:
S1: Susanna Chamberlain, Leading through sharing - the joy of edited collections
Abstract: Developing an edited collection is a rewarding and interesting process which offers opportunities for publishing to colleagues. The finished product can attract attention to the school as well as offering individuals a venue for presenting their research and interests. It can also help to develop connections, support collegiality and enhance skills of project management, facilitation and planning. I am currently developing an edited collection for publication in 2015, and led the team of editors who produced "Generation Next: becoming socially enterprising" for Oxford University Press, published 2014.
S2: Sue Lovell, Embodiment and Affect in Narrative Theory
Abstract: The core issue for all narrative theory is ultimately, how does narrative work? The reader is implicit in this broad disciplinary question but becomes explicit in reader oriented theory, known more commonly now in its contemporary manifestations as cognitive narrative theory and theory of mind in narrative. Making readers explicit enables the articulation of the problem I want to address: when and how does narrative become able to ‘do things with words’ in the performative sense of creating a shift in ontological reality via the reader? This presentation is a result of grappling with this question and of the thinking that has both preceded and flowed from my attendance last June at Ohio State University’s Summer Institute on Narrative Theory.
