Description:

What did we learn from the Spanish flu? How well do experts and journalists understand what those numbers are supposed to signify? How unparalleled is the unprecedented experience for individuals who have experienced war, sieges, and previous pandemics? And finally, will we ever learn to live with the virus?

The book "Narrative in Crisis" investigates levels of the individual, academic work, and society. It highlights stories of the unknown or yet-to-be-known by making them accessible through thorough reflection, pushing back the all-too-simplified stories we hear in everyday discourses.

All contributors to the volume (Irene Strasser, Martin Dege, Mark Freeman, Dan McAdams, Corinne Squire, Hanna Meretoja, Luka Lucić and Guro Nore Fløgstad, Ruthellen Josselson, Michel Ferrari and Melanie Munroe, Molly Andrews, and Jens Brockmeier) will be present for a virtual book launch.
