Description
Our lives are constructed in narrative and the illness narrative in particular, forms an important part of that story. This project will, through qualitative interviews and online survey questions explore how people with an illness story construct their narrative. It will explore whether these narrators adopt or resist the various narratives that are available to them or whether they create new counter-narratives. The stories will then be transformed into poems to help us better understand the illness experience
