Narrative Research

Course Overview

The University of East London has been a pioneer in the subject, establishing its prestigious international Centre for Narrative Research in 2000. It continues to attract leading academics and researchers from around the world. We understand that it is not always possible to make it on to campus to study. Many of our students live overseas, while others have family and work commitments to balance. So, flexible learning is a key to this course. You will have the option of studying the full Associate PG certificate by distance learning. But, if you can, you are also welcome to attend our on-campus sessions. Our research interests are clustered around five vibrant research centres and groups, including The Centre for Narrative Research - the leading international centre for narrative work in the social sciences. Much of our research has attracted international interest in areas such as housing and urban studies, political narratives, gender studies and post-structural theories, racism and the work on terror, multiculturalism and the Holocaust, poverty and the media, nationalism and religion, crime and prevention, young people and urban identities.
