It is said we are living in a ‘golden age of storytelling’, with the term used frequently by academics, journalism and documentary-makers alike. But might the quest for a “good story” risk undermining both good research and good journalism? This session will offer a series of short provocations on this theme, followed by break-away discussion groups that will allow participants from across disciplines to share experiences and reflections of the power and limits of story in their work, and gain a greater understanding of how they might work together to harness the strengths of story while guarding against its shortcomings.

The session will be chaired by Nina Garthwaite, director of In The Dark and co-producer, with Alan Hall (Falling Tree Productions), of The Tyranny of Story, a three part documentary series presented by John Harris for BBC Radio 4.
