First Nations narrative practitioners and police violence

Are you a narrative practitioner from a First Nations community or the Global South who has supported people affected by police violence?
Nicolás Mosso Tupper, a PhD researcher at The University of Melbourne, is inviting First Nations narrative practitioners to participate in a research project that centres knowledge and experience in responding to police brutality. This initiative aims to honour nuanced, grounded practices that are often overlooked, and to build a body of collective wisdom for other practitioners responding to police violence in the Global South.
 
What does participation involve?
A one-to-one 60 to 90-minute conversational interview. The interview will explore your experiences supporting people affected by police or state violence – focused on your practice, what’s been helpful, and what you’ve learned along the way. You’ll have the opportunity to review, revise, and approve your contributions before anything is shared or published. A follow-up conversation may be offered after we draft a collective resource (such as a handbook), giving you a chance to reflect on how your input is represented and offer further insights.
 
Why participate?
This project seeks to document and amplify grounded, context-specific practices that speak to the complexity of police violence – its everyday forms, systemic reach, and lasting effects on communities. Your participation can contribute to a resource designed by and for narrative practitioners working in resistance to state violence.

The use of narrative in therapy

Hello! My name is Aimee Lantzy, and I am pursuing a doctorate in education at Johns Hopkins University. My focus is on narratology and corporate learning. I am investigating the fields of law, therapy and medicine to glean how narrative is used within those sectors. I am hoping to interview experienced narrative therapy practitioners over the next 4 weeks. The time commitment is 90 minutes divided into two interviews conducted via Zoom. I would be so grateful to speak with you if you have interest and availability! I am happy to provide more information on my research as well. I can be reached at alantzy1@jh.edu
