Chapter 20 discusses how storytelling enables us to speak from lived experiences, ours and others’, while sharing the details of the context and people involved so that others can learn with us and from us. This chapter also includes a discussion of storytelling as a genre for learning and teaching and what stories of learning and teaching in higher education can look like. This chapter presents a flexible guide to the organization and composition of stories along with a discussion of the benefits and complexities of writing them.
