Questions Around Narrative Self-Guidance

An inquiry into participation, revision, and agency in the accounts that shape a life.

People interpret their lives in relation to other people, professional knowledge, institutions, and inherited stories. No participant enters that work with a complete or final account.

This research asks what forms of participation allow people to speak, evaluate, and respond to consequential interpretations while keeping knowledge relational and open to evidence.
