Abstract
- This article examines the prevalence, persuasiveness, and power of stories. Using a talk by Adichie (2009), we examine how to unpack assumptions, formed by prior interpretations of stories, as well as how to develop more robust views of self, other, situation, and context by embracing multiple stories. In particular, we draw on Adichie's admonition to "reject the single story" in preparing our students for international service-learning projects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
