Can you explain a bit about the ways you went into defending your use of a/e and how you linked it with narratology (not familiar with this term)?

Certainly her previous work has covered stories as well. Might be an interesting chat for you both... maybe you’d find it useful to talk to Joh Hunt (a few doors down in our corridor!) next time you’re at uni - she is doing some work with using narratives as data, I think.

For example, birdwatching, dancing, bridge. There would need to be an interest in the subject but often the social side is the prime interest. U3A is probably a good example of this although the learning is a bit more formal than a club. Years ago I used to work in adult education in London and the pensioners could do as many classes as they wanted for £1 for the year. Some did 3 classes a day. The learning aspect was just an extra to most of the students. This opportunity slowly disappeared and people have to look elsewhere now.

More focused on the process getting to the end product rather than the end product done to perfection. There isn't a fear of making mistakes during informal learning.
