The Narrative Intelligence Project
The stories we live inside shape what becomes possible.
Narrative Intelligence is an ongoing inquiry into how people recognize the stories shaping their lives, question them, and live differently.
The Narrative Intelligence Project carries that inquiry forward through research, field building, and public scholarship: gathering the people, ideas, and evidence that can grow Narrative Intelligence into a shared field of practice.
100 Stories is the project's public work: a living archive of conversations exploring how the stories we inherit, absorb, construct, and repeat shape how we see ourselves, other people, and the world.
Across 100 conversations, Narrative Intelligence researcher Paige Williams speaks with researchers, artists, leaders, therapists, educators, storytellers, and people whose lived experience reveals something important about identity, agency, meaning, and change.
