Cfp: "Exploring the Narrative Landscape: Issues, Investigations and Interventions," Narrative Matters 2010, St. Thomas University, 2010.

Fifth Biennial Conference on Narrative Approaches and Perspectives Across the Human Sciences to be held at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Narrative.

In recent years, the influence of the narrative turn has been felt in diverse fields. In literature, psychology, education, journalism, health care,history, social work, theology, the arts, and many other areas, scholars and practitioners have been actively exploring the storied complexity of human experience. This conference considers the question of where the narrative turn has taken us, and where it is leading us from here: what challenges and possibilities can narrativists anticipate in their various disciplines, and what directions are their inquiries and activities taking?

Like its predecessors in 2002 and 2004 (and succeeding conferences in 2006 and 2008), Narrative Matters 2010 will be a unique experience in which theorists, researchers, practitioners, and students from a wide variety of backgrounds and disciplines will have the opportunity to enjoy conversation and together explore the importance of narrative in countless aspects of human life.

We welcome proposals for individual papers (20 minutes plus ten minutes for questions and answer), panels (90 minutes), and posters.
