Newest Research Paper:
Research and Storytelling as Gendered Resistance
This research paper, written by IWL's Fall 2023 Faculty Fellows, reviews the work of Drs. Heather Hlavka, Jennifer Vanderheyden, and Jessica Zemlak and how storytelling provides essential context to the lived experiences of people—"past and present—as ways to both challenge and amplify the experiences of those who have been doubted, denied, or silenced through time." Navigate to IWL's "Pubications" page to learn more and see other research papers and reports from our community.
