Скачать или смотреть Inklings on Adventurous & Exotic Lives by Way of Narrative Practice | Kevan Walker | TEDxFairbanks

In this talk, Kevan discusses how the clinical field of Narrative Practice has made forays into community work from its therapeutic beginnings. He also muses on the inklings he’s gotten of what possibilities play at the leading edges of our individual & collective lives, the hats we wear, relating these through bewitching stories told at the edge.

Kevan is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, though prefers the title “Relentless Collector of Magical Moments” (borrowed from acclaimed Photographer Stephen Wilkes) due to the exotic lives he’s uncovered whilst consulting the human beingness of others. Through his Narrative Therapy practice in Fairbanks, Alaska, Kevan enters conversations from a collaborative, appreciative, & curious position to then with his consultants “spit in the soup” of taken-for- granted societal norms, discover & illuminate the adventurous & exotic stories that have been edited out of their lives. He’s been most interested in engaging in discussions around: masculinity, white privilege, medical dialogues, colonization, Dignified Defiance, Latter-Day Saints, & whatever else piques his & other’s curiosity.
