Our Stories Matter
Our Stories Matter: Liberating the Voices of Marginalized Students Through Scholarly Personal Narrative Writing | Robert J. Nash, Sydnee Viray
1 post | 1 to read
<I>Our Stories Matter explains and exemplifies the methodology of Scholarly Personal Narrative (SPN) writing for marginalized, underrepresented, and previously -disappeared- students at all levels of higher education. Presently no book looks at the whys and hows of scholarly personal narrative writing that focuses on this particular audience of underrepresented students. SPN writing has its origins in early slave narratives; 1960s feminist liberation stories; religio-spiritual autobiographies; existential, postmodern, and postcritical theory; and memoir/autobiographies of victimization and victory. <I>Our Stories Matter attempts to fill a huge vacuum in the literature on the art and craft of personal narrative writing for undergraduates and graduates, because it appeals to a hugely expanding, previously underrepresented audience. It also provides faculty with a substantive pedagogical rationale and a writer's guide for teaching this kind of scholarly research - not just to underrepresented students but to all students who are ready to tell their stories in their own original, creative ways."

Hannah Gadspy‘s “comedy” special is unlike any other comedy special, and in fact, she questions what comedy is and what it allows us to feel (or not feel). It‘s magnificent, fierce, uncomfortable, riveting, and truly relatable. As readers, we already have bought into how reading diverse stories make us stronger and gives our lives more meaning. I think you‘ll all really like this one.

MrsMalaprop It‘s very good. 6y

pgh.femme I loved this and have been thinking about it for days. I saw on my Twitter feed that Netflix should give her a series with alternative art history and thought it was brilliant. Wouldn‘t that be amazing? 6y
