How to interview for narrative storytelling

It takes a different set of interview skills to get people to share not just the facts of their situation, but also an actual narrative. In this online class, we’ll talk through practical skills for narrative interviewing, from figuring out what questions to ask, to asking questions in a way that prompts story and emotion, and how to help sources tap into the details of stories that are often long past. If you have taken Karen’s Story Structure class, some of the material may be familiar though will be addressed from a different angle.

Bonus: Registration comes with a free, three-month license for Hindenburg audio editing software!
