Description
Book SynopsisThis edited collection brings together academics and practitioners to explore the uses of Digital Storytelling, which places the greatest possible emphasis on the voice of the storyteller.
Trade Review“The reader—whether new to digital storytelling or a seasoned practitioner—comes away with a sense of possibilities and a deeper appreciation for digital storytelling as a means for amplifying voice and inspiring civic engagement.” (Heather Gerhart, Storytelling, Self, Society, Vol. 16 (2), 2020)
“The most compelling aspects of this volume are the stories … . The stories presented in each of these chapters are rather remarkable and, indeed, powerful. Anyone interested in modern media, narrative, social activism, communication studies, film, as well as those versed in DS scholarship, will find this a compelling read.” (Katherine Daley-Bailey, Reflective Teaching, May, 2018)
“Digital Storytelling is relevant for diverse audiences. Above all, it will interest practitioners as the book showcases a number of usage scenarios and applications, while also fostering deeper reflection on practice. … For educators involved with qualitative methodologies as well as in the creative studies fields, DS might offer an interesting outlet to explore new ways of working with students to make stories together.” (Lavinia Marin, LSE Review of Books, blogs.lse.ac.uk, May, 2018)
