As part of the Royal Society’s Reimagining Science project, in May 2019 we were involved in hosting a one day workshop on Narrative and Science with the Royal Society and the British Academy. Sarah wrote one of a number of stimulus papers commissioned by the academies. The paper on the function of stories is an example of early research for the book which led to the four function chapter structure of Storylistening. It’s superseded of course by the further research conducted over the following two years, but remains interesting perhaps as an insight into the development of our thinking.
