Storytelling as Sense-Making at TU
Delft's Multi-Actor Systems Department

Making Myths

A record of my work with TU Delft's Multi-Actor Systems department exploring storytelling as a tool for sense-making. Over the next few weeks I will populate this page with the stories of my experiences.

This collection of work is separated into two parts: Process and Outcome. I always think it's good to split our work this way, it helps me to see exactly what I had control over and what may not have been my direct choice on the project.

This page is for the TU Delft team, a place where all of our work will live on safely and openly, though anyone who is interested in storytelling or would like to learn more about what I do, you've come to the right place!

Process

A series of podcasts chronicling the development of my work and how I've went about all of this work. Each podcast covers a different aspect of my work, acting as both a lecture series and a spoken-word history of the things that have happened.

Unfortunately, this process doesn't port as well to other formats, the whiteboard is essential for this work. But I've still got all the details and a report here on my work with the PVE team.
