Masterclass: The power and the impact of contributor-led storytelling

This talk explains the ethics of storytelling about real people, specifically in the humanitarian and development sector, and advocates for telling stories in partnership with the people who have lived those experiences. The talk considers three key questions:

  • Who gets to see?

  • Who gets to speak?

  • What is the responsibility of the teller of real life stories?

Originally recorded as a Masterclass at the University of Huddersfield in February 2023.
