"James’s workshops on academic storytelling were transformative. Using compelling examples from academic writing, films, and other outputs, James helped us to understand the structure behind stories, what information to reveal when, and how to craft a narrative simply and compellingly according to particular audiences. These skills are invaluable. They help us think carefully about how best to do justice to the stories of our interlocutors in caring and creative ways. I can’t wait to put everything I learned into practice."

"Good and helpful ideas to sharpen the structure of my book proposal and pitch it to people outside of my area of research. I particularly enjoyed the writing exercises, which helped me describe and think about my proposal in new ways, as well as the examples provided from films, which I found very useful."
