About the Book

As digital life stories continue to assume more and more significance 
across a range of institutions, so too does their potential to bring 
into focus once marginalised and neglected voices. Breaking new ground 
by reframing multimedia life stories as a resource for education, public 
health, and policy, this book challenges policymakers, professionals, 
and researchers to reimagine how they find out about and respond to 
people’s daily lives and experiences of health, disability, and well-being.

The book develops theoretical, methodological, and practical resources 
for listening to digital stories through a series of carefully selected 
international case studies, from dementia care education to campaigns in 
the UN to ban cluster munitions. The case studies explore and illuminate 
different ways that digital stories have – and have not – been listened 
to in the past. The authors expose the great potential as well as the 
complexity of using powerful personal stories in practice. Together, the 
case studies highlight that processes of listening to, learning from, 
and making use of digital stories involve unavoidable processes of 
reinterpretation, recontextualisation, and translation which have 
significant ethical and political implications for storytellers, 
listeners, and society. In mapping and theorising the movement of 
stories into new contexts of policy and practice, the book offers a 
critical lens on the widely celebrated democratising potential of 
digital storytelling and its capacity to amplify marginalised voices.

Digital Storytelling in Health and Social Policy develops an 
authoritative and original re-conceptualisation of digital life stories 
and their use for social justice ends, and will be important reading for 
researchers and practitioners from a range of backgrounds, including 
social policy, digital media, communication, education, disability, and 
public health.
