The Fictive 5 Framework:
A Narrative Approach to Equity Learning & Development
The importance of narrative can’t be understated.
Humans are literally (yes, literally) wired to make sense of our experiences through a narrative-based, or storytelling, lens.
This is no less true for our experiences with inequity and oppression, privilege and belonging.
Dr. Dominique Riviere has developed an inquiry-driven, narrative framework to help equity leaders better identify the gaps in their learning, and better understand the work they need to do to fill them.
