The Laboratory of Narrative Research (LNR) is a teaching and research unit that is part of the School of English at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. It has been designed to bring together scholars and researchers from across the humanities, the social sciences and other scientific fields who have a special interest in the workings and the politics of narrative production.
Lab Director: Dr Effie Yiannopoulou
Are there stories to share from the Old Building of Philosophy?
How does the history of the place mingle with the people who work, study and visit here today?
How does routine life sound/look/feel like in the third floor of the New Philosophy Building that hosts our department?
What are some narratives behind the department library’s walls?
Are instructors’ offices frightening spaces to visit?
What are some stories classroom walls tell?
How does campus life sound/look like?
We are sure you are by now acquainted with the department’s main premises, but there are still stories, testimonies, images and sounds to share of the places you’ll frequent in the four years to come. Bring ear/headphones and a fully charged phone along (ideally with QR code reader installed) and join us in a creative audio walking tour of campus and department spaces; this is both a get-to-know tour but also one that seeks to unearth some of the private, yet collective, stories these public spaces hide.
