International Journal of Narrative Practice

Spring 2009 Vol1 ISSN 2041‐2207

This new journal is an eclectic publication that draws on different uses of narratives in research, education and practice. As such, it is not confined to any one area or discipline. Submissions from practitioners and academics in any discipline are encouraged and it is planned to have guest editors and single theme issues. The publication will come out four times a year (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter) and the first and second issues will be devoted to presentations and papers from the 2nd. International Narrative practitioner Conference, held at Glyndŵr University in June 2008.

The journal will initially be published as an online journal but it is planned to develop it as an academic journal, published in hard copy.

Foreword

I want to welcome you to the first issue of our new journal, The International Journal of Narrative Practice (IJNP). The journal is for anyone, in any context, who uses narratives in any way. We welcome narratives from fields as diverse as the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, Philosophy and Ethics as well as from professionals in any area. The first issue is the beginning of an ongoing conversation, which we hope you will join with. The journal will come out four times a year corresponding to Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter issues (see Notes for contributors).

This issue comes out just as the 3rd.International Conference takes place at Keele University, UK. It promises to be a very exciting event with a variety of workshops, art exhibitions, performances, presentations, music and storytelling. Next year’s conference will take place in North Wales at Glyndŵr University in June 2010. We hope you will join us.

There are a variety of interesting ways of using narratives and this is reflected in this issue. Papers in this issue were presented at the 2nd. International Conference on Narratives at Glyndŵr University in June 2008. I hope you enjoy this first issue and that it motivates you to engage with the community of narrative practitioners.

Alex Carson (Chief Executive Editor)
