In 2022, we received funding to recruit eight student interns who could carry out a series of research tasks, including a research report on decolonial storytelling in higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In their simplest form, stories \u2018allow shifts across time and context, while facilitating contextualised, multilayered understanding of personal identities, social relationships, and cultural landscapes\u2019 (Mulvey et al., 2000:885 cited in Sonn et al., 2013). In Indigenous epistemologies, stories can be archives of thought, history, trauma and resilience, and this is emphasised by the long oral tradition of storytelling in Indigenous cultures. Black narrative traditions also present stories as a way of encouraging the remembrance of homelands and communities and fostering intergenerational connections (Toliver, 2021). We are also drawn to feminist practices of storytelling and ethnography that centre and problematise the implications of our positionalities and contexts to our work (Manning, 2016; de Nooijer and Sol Cueva, 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These reports will be useful for anyone looking to find out more about storytelling and explore a different approach in their teaching and learning practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
