Narrative and Science

26.3.2021 10.00–13.00
Online workshop Narrative and Science

26 March 2021 

EET (Tampere): 12.00–15.00 

GMT (London): 10.00–13.00 

  

How are narratives used in science? What is their role for instance in scientific classification, or in the development of scientific ideas and practices, or in science communication? And how should narratives in science be studied? Is there a narrative-theoretical methodology for all disciplines working with narrative? 

  

The online workshop Narrative and Science brings together scholars from the ERC Narrative Science project led by Mary Morgan (LSE), and from Narrare: Centre for Interdisciplinary Narrative Studies, led by Mari Hatavara (Tampere University).
