Abstract

Research is often framed as a pursuit of knowledge – rigorous, methodical, and objective. Yet, beneath this structure lies a deeper question: what stories emanate from these endeavours and who are they for? Annalena Oppel proposes that a renewed engagement with storytelling, and specifically digital storytelling, presents an opportunity for research and researchers to reconnect with their original motivations and engage in collective action. However, to do so requires the courage to resist increasingly institutionalised and isolating forms of scholarship.
