A World-Wide List of
Courses In and/or About Storytelling Taught at Colleges and Universities Last updated December 2010
About this List: Storytelling Studies can be thought of as an interdisciplinary field, or as a discipline unto itself. For information about Storytelling Studies, please see 1) my Introduction (1998); 2) the Editorial Policy Statement of Storytelling, Self, and Society: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Storytelling Studies (2004); and 3) a founding article of Storytelling Studies, “Storytelling, Self, and Society: Once Upon a Time: An Introduction to the Inaugural Issue,” by Joseph Sobol, John S. Gentile, and Sunwolf (2004). Storytelling can be defined as relating a series of events. Some sort of co-presence of participants -- with instantaneous and ongoing feedback loops occurring between them -- is a crucial component of storytelling. This list includes courses in many disciplines. Many of the courses are taught by adjunct professors, and are not taught every semester. I, Eric Miller, began this list in 1998. Others, including Millie Jackson, have kindly tended it for periods, but this responsibility is once again mine, so please send updates and corrections to me at <eric+storytellinginstitute.org>. Note: A "+" is used instead of an "@" in the e-mail IDs with the intention of avoiding the IDs being spammed by some automatic system. *** AUSTRALIA Parsifal College (a Rudolf Steiner training college), Sydney PO Box 231 West Pennant Hills, 2125 Australia.
