Global Perspectives on Digital Storytelling for Identity, Justice, and Community

Fri, April 10, 11:45am to 1:15pm PDT (11:45am to 1:15pm PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: 2nd Floor, Platinum J

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium presents cutting-edge research on Digital Storytelling (DST) from six international contexts, showcasing how narrative inquiry methodology reveals the transformative potential of storytelling in education. Presentations examine Indonesian teachers' professional identity development, Nigerian girls' agency through comics, Asian American youth's resistance to model minority stereotypes, early childhood teachers' pedagogical innovations, immigrant youth's superhero counter-narratives, and university students' engagement across three countries. Grounded in narrative inquiry, the research demonstrates how stories function as counter-narratives challenging dominant discourses, community bridges connecting formal and informal knowledge, and decolonizing practices centering diverse epistemologies. Collectively, presentations show how DST serves as a vehicle for unforgetting marginalized knowledge while fostering more equitable and humanizing approaches to education research.
