These presentations were filmed during a two-day interdisciplinary workshop that took place at the LSE over the 18th-19th of July 2019. The full programme from the event is still accessible via the event page. It was made possible thanks to the generous support of the British Academy (grant number BARSEA19\190021).  It expands on the work of the Narrative Science project, a European Research Council funded project based at the London School of Economics (grant agreement No. 694732). ​News from the network and the directory of members can be found here. We would like to record our very sincere thanks to Dr Jon Adams who took pains to edit these videos to include the slide shows and ensured the recordings were of the highest quality.


(For those who aren't familiar, it is probably best to set the quality to HD by clicking on the little cog icon on the bottom right, otherwise the appearance is a little grainy).
