The Department of History at the Easwari School of Liberal Arts (ESLA) at SRM University-AP is organising a two-week workshop titled “Storytelling as Research Methodologies for Humanities and Social Sciences”. Scheduled from November 05 to November 19, 2026, the in-person practical sessions will take place in the ESLA Seminar Hall for doctoral scholars across the liberal arts disciplines. The workshop features Dr Julio César Díaz Calderón (They/Them), Visiting Scholar at American University, Washington, DC, as the expert resource person.
Over the past four decades, narrative inquiry and creative storytelling techniques have expanded research frameworks across humanities and social science disciplines. This workshop introduces doctoral researchers to qualitative narrative methods, practical writing exercises, critical reading, and active listening to examine how creative story-based approaches broaden theoretical and analytical inquiry in academic research.

- Narrative Inquiry: Introduction to creative story-based methodologies and qualitative research frameworks.
