Description

Hurried childhoods, slow narratives and the ecology of attention. In a time of rapid change and accelerated childhoods, this project aims to establish slow narrative practices that promote deep engagement. Exploring how children co-create stories across diverse learning environments, the project is expected to reveal the role of children’s literature and creative writing in shaping their relationship with the world around them and their ability to imagine and build hopeful futures. The expected outcome includes new insights into the narrative practices that cultivate resilience and adaptive thinking: essential skills for navigating uncertainty. This would provide significant benefits enriching Australia’s educational, literary and cultural spheres.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 3602 - Creative and Professional Writing. Lead: Dr Penelope Russon
