Presented by CIPS and the International Theory Network

Professor Dauphinee will explore the recent growth of narrative methods in IR and the conceptual and political possibilities that narrative can illuminate. She will discuss what narrative texts are ‘doing’ in IR, how we might evaluate and critique them, and in what ways they hold the tensions between subjectivity, authenticity, contradiction, ambiguity, and fracture to expand the way we think about international politics as a craft and a discipline.

Elizabeth Dauphinee is Professor in the Department of Political Science at York University. She is Editor of the Journal of Narrative Politics, and author of The Politics of Exile (Routledge: 2013).
