Centre for Transformative Narrative Inquiry Seminar and Masterclass

The Centre for Transformative Narrative Inquiry is delighted that Professor Arthur Frank will present an evening Seminar on Wednesday 9th June from 7.30 – 9.30 p.m. and a Masterclass on Thursday 10th June from 9.30 a.m – 3.30 p.m.

Arthur Frank is Professor of Sociology at the University of Calgary in Canada and is author of “At the Will of the Body”, “The Wounded Storyteller” and his most recent book “The Renewal of Generosity”. He has made a significant contribution to our understanding of the role of pain and illness in people’s lives and how people make meaning of these experiences. In particular, he has focused on the role of stories and the importance of the teller and the listener. His unique approach to narrative research has added greatly to our capacity to be present in a more healing way to suffering.

Places need to be pre booked for the Masterclass. It would be preferable to reserve a place for the Seminar but places will also be available on the night. Please contact Mary Corbally in the Department of Adult and Community Education at NUI Maynooth for further details. Phone: (01) 708 3784.  Email: mary.corbally@nuim.ie
