Welcome to Crafting Narratives!

How are stories constructed? What changes for the author when the stories are about real, living people? What responsibility does the anthropologist have when their narratives have consequences for themselves and for the people whose stories they tell?

The Crafting Narratives project is an experimental interface to encourage students to build anthropological concepts using raw data from ethnographic projects and tell empathetic, inquisitive, and ethical stories.
