From the Back Cover

‘This book is a thorough original compilation of how to work with stories, why we work with stories, and provides much scope and opening for the reader to take the ideas and strategies into their own fields of research and learning. This is a very useful guide not only in support of LGBTIQ issues but also a very accessible academic overview of using, analyzing and creatively engaging with narratives in many disciplines, with many communities, and in multiple settings.’

―Maria Pallotta Chiarolli, Deakin University, Australia
