Narrative & Pizza Series
An ongoing seminar on narrative therapy and community work.
For: students, faculty, alumni, supervisors, school counselors, social workers, psychologists, family therapists, anyone curious about the application of the narrative perspective in practice domains. All are welcome.
The aim of the seminar is to provide a forum for the ongoing engagement with narrative practice in a focused but informal conversation in a convivial atmosphere.
Description: Approximately once monthly during the academic year, we get together in an informal gathering to discuss, share and present about narrative therapy and practice. The aim of the series is to provide a forum for both the novice just discovering narrative ideas and for those who desire to enhance years of knowledge. Each seminar is designed around a specific practice focus. We might include ideas about the thinking and philosophy behind the topic and immediately useful ideas for narrative practices.
While there is no charge for the seminars, we do ask for a contribution to cover the cost of the pizza. If you wish to be added to the emailing list for updates, please contact John Winslade - jwinslad@csusb.edu.
