Are you ready to follow us down?
At The Narrative Transformation Lab, we believe that good storytellers aren’t afraid to follow their curiosity.
The world of narrative and conflict transformation is vast. That’s why we’re developing a compendium of rabbit holes to take you down into the depths of even the most niche of narrative topics.
Each semester, we will add to this curated collection, highlighting the research interests of our team members.
And like every good rabbit hole, we aren’t sure where these ones will take us. The best way to find out is to follow us down.
