The Centre for Narrative Research

Abstract

This chapter tells the story of the Centre for Narrative Research (CNR): where the inspiration for its formation came from, how it was situated within the political and intellectual culture of the University of East London (UEL) and its broader academic and socioeconomic context, and how it has developed over the twenty years of its existence. The chapter closes with a few thoughts about the future: about the kind of work for which we hope to have laid some foundation, and about the continuing obstacles to that kind of work. ; Peer reviewed
