As digital life stories continue to assume more and more
significance across a range of institutions, so too does their
potential to bring into focus once marginalised and neglected
voices. Breaking new ground by reframing multimedia life stories as
a resource for education, public health, and policy, this book
challenges policymakers, professionals, and researchers to
reimagine how they find out about and respond to people's daily
lives and experiences of health, disability, and well-being. The
book develops theoretical, methodological, and practical resources
for listening to digital stories through a series of carefully
selected international case studies, from dementia care education
to campaigns in the UN to ban cluster munitions. The case studies
explore and illuminate different ways that digital stories have -
and have not - been listened to in the past. The authors expose the
great potential as well as the complexity of using powerful
personal stories in practice. Together, the case studies highlight
that processes of listening to, learning from, and making use of
digital stories involve unavoidable processes of reinterpretation,
recontextualisation, and translation which have significant ethical
and political implications for storytellers, listeners, and
society. In mapping and theorising the movement of stories into new
contexts of policy and practice, the book offers a critical lens on
the widely celebrated democratising potential of digital
storytelling and its capacity to amplify marginalised voices.
Digital Storytelling in Health and Social Policy develops an
authoritative and original re-conceptualisation of digital life
stories and their use for social justice ends, and will be
important reading for researchers and practitioners from a range of
backgrounds, including social policy, digital media, communication,
education, disability, and public health.
