Telling scientific stories is a powerful technique for teaching and learning geoscience. Storytelling or narrative pedagogy can empower diverse voices as well as communicate scientific content and help learners articulate how their lives connect with geoscience. Stories also serve important roles by recognizing student agency in creating the future of geoscientific communities; they may illustrate diverse experiences of becoming and being scientists. This session focuses on how the geoscience community uses storytelling as a pedagogical approach. Storytelling, or narratives, can take many forms including oral, written, visual, and digital media. The narratives could be student-created or generated by scientists or educators to support scientific communication. We welcome submissions that share the experience of incorporating narrative into educational settings, including pedagogical techniques and training, examples or outcomes of programs, and research into narrative education. We particularly welcome submissions that expand the diversity of voices learning and sharing within the geosciences.
