A
World-Wide List of
Courses In and/or About Storytelling
Taught at Colleges and Universities
Last updated 2021
About this List:
Storytelling Studies can be thought of as an interdisciplinary field, or as a
discipline unto itself. For information about Storytelling Studies,
please see 1) my Introduction
(1998); 2) the Editorial
Policy Statement of Storytelling, Self, and Society: An
Interdisciplinary Journal of Storytelling Studies (2004); and 3) a
founding article of Storytelling Studies, “Storytelling,
Self, and Society: Once Upon a Time: An Introduction to the Inaugural
Issue,” by Joseph Sobol, John S. Gentile, and Sunwolf (2004).
Storytelling can be defined as relating a series of events. Some
sort of co-presence of participants -- with instantaneous and ongoing
feedback loops occurring between them -- is a crucial component of
storytelling.
This list includes courses in many disciplines. Many of the courses are
taught by adjunct professors, and are not taught every semester.
I, Eric Miller, began this list in 1998. Others, including Millie
Jackson, have kindly tended it for periods, but this responsibility is once
again mine, so please send updates and corrections to me at
<eric+storytellinginstitute.org>.
Note: A "+" is used instead of an "@" in the e-mail
IDs with the intention of avoiding the IDs being spammed by some automatic
