Episode 4
In this ‘what’s new’ episode we speak to Emeritus Professor of Sociology Ken Plummer, a legend of narrative research, about his influential research on stories, where the field is at now, and what might be its future. In this quite warm and personal conversation, we discussed the work Ken has done with narrative and stories across the span of his career, from the 1960s to the present; beginning with his first two books, Documents of Life and Telling Sexual Stories, up until his most recent works, Narrative Power and Critical Humanism.
