Reparative Narrative
Co-researcher, Stillpoint Engage

Reparative Narrative is an innovative pilot initiative based on the retelling of the life-story. Drawing on the tradition of Oral History, Reparative Narrative is rooted in the interweaving of both a therapeutic experience and a qualitative research methodology to target the statistically verified, wide-spread psychological despair, disengagement, loss of agency and hopelessness in Kosovo in the decades following the Kosovo War. Working with Dr. Stephen Setterberg, Jane Reilly LICSW, and Dr. Evangelos Tsempelis, I integrated a multidisciplinary literary and critical theoretical approach to the development of the intersubjective practice of Reparative Narrative.
