The exploratory Nuclear Policy Storylistening Exercise (NPSE) was carried out during 2023, funded by the University of Cambridge Arts and Humanities Impact Fund. The project’s purpose was to demonstrate how storylistening can inform decision-making, and to provide insights for today’s decision-makers in nuclear policy (here referring to nuclear war or warfare), by collaboratively exploring the interplay between stories and policy. The project outputs are shared here – first as one single collated PDF, and underneath as separate PDFs – providing essential insights for the design of future projects concerned with public reasoning, the humanities and narrative evidence.
