Narratives in policymaking

We all love a good story. Stories provide coherence and help to form our sense of identity. Personal and social narratives fundamentally affect the ways we live, how we interact and what is considered important at all levels of decision-making.

Inviting authors from a range of disciplines, from psychology to the humanities, economics, economic history and geography, the key aim of the symposium is to explore the role of narratives in shaping what we think, do and feel - for good and for ill.
