Samenvatting

We De Try: Creative Methods of Storylistening and Storytelling tells the story of a research journey the author underwent in trying to gain a better understanding of diversity and inclusion in higher education. Through insights generated by the exploration of methods of storytelling and storylistening, the research problematises using stories as tools for diversity and inclusion in higher educational institutions. In order to be transformed by that which emerges (storylistening) in a manner that is non-extractive, avoids reinforcing existing power imbalances, and recognises that stories transcend time and space asks for exploring questions relating to practicing care, generosity, and honouring and catering to different needs.
