WOMEN’S NARRATIVES PROJECT

In my years as a UNESCO Chair, I founded a women’s narratives project that is now interwoven with my human rights work at the University of Oxford and my teaching in the medical narrative program at the USC medical school.

While the initial focus was on women’s stories of armed conflict—Bosnia, Northern Ireland, Syria, Afghanistan, and Kurds—dozens of people have worked on the project in the past several years. Our global stories now include narratives of women and health, women and religion, gendered violence, life’s work, and women and identity.

The Global Women’s Narratives Project is part of the Oxford Initiative for Global Ethics and Human Rights, a nonprofit 501c3 founded in 2018.
