In this talk, I would like to reflect on narrative research with a focus on how it is done and for what reasons. Narrative is often referenced in research scholarship as communicative means to ends in social care, health, therapy, education, among other domains of social action. I would like to discuss narrative research as a method for investigating both means and ends across these domains. In particular, I hope that we can discuss narrative research in light of power, inclusion and the co-design moment.
