Working with Stories in Your Community or Organization: Participatory Narrative Inquiry

By Cynthia F. Kurtz

Participatory Narrative Inquiry (PNI) is a form of Participatory Action Research in which groups of people share and work with their stories of personal experiences to understand each other and to make collective sense of complex issues and situations.

Working with Stories is a textbook for anyone who wants to use PNI to help their community or organization discover useful insights, get along better, and make better decisions together. Now in its fourth edition, the book has been updated with new explanations, concepts, and techniques.
