Overview
Critical Storytelling in 2020: Issues, Elections, and Beyond embraces the fierce urgency of the year 2020. This collection features timely research, critical stories, and engaging poetry written by undergraduate students, Master’s and Ph.D. students, recently-graduated students, and faculty. The authors hail from fields of Communication Studies, Education, Journalism, Media Arts & Studies, Creative Writing, Criminal Justice, Law, and Business/Organizational Communication. For those that share personal narratives and poems, we are drawn to witness how the personal is often political and the individual is often collective. For those that share more social-scientific papers (literature reviews, some with narrative sections), we are drawn to witness how the political is often personal and the collective is often individual. The year 2020 clearly is a year that highlights our complex reality of politics, personal and collective issues, and futures influenced by the present. This volume, in both direct and deviant ways, speaks to issues of pivotal import in the U.S. in a year that will see a crucial census, a historic election, and the momentous, yet-to-be-seen movement birthed from contested change and courageous critical storytellers. The authors herein dare to share their voices in written form and bravely offer their perspectives to us—their stories ring out beyond the written page. Contributors are: Bowen Dong, Aurora Gross, Nicholas D. Hartlep, Brandon O. Hensley, Phelan Johnson, Miles Kinsman, Karen Chava Knox, Sarah Kominek, Emmitt Lewis, Sarita McKenney, Kelsey Mesmer, Taylor Nondorf, Julie M. Novak, Christopher Saleh, Daniel Socha, Ashley Teffer, and Kimberly Tracey.

Reviews
Advance Praise ""Critical Storytelling in 2020: Issues, Elections and Beyond offers a strong analysis that highlights the importance of critical narratives and storytelling at a watershed moment in time. This edited volume features new voices alongside veteran scholars who offer strong critique and prophetic vision in ways that invite readers to consider the possibilities of a 'critical hope' that embodies both empathy and action."" - Michael E. Jennings, Furman University ""Just as the world is bracing for the forthcoming cultural political war, Critical Storytelling in 2020: Issues, Elections and Beyond offers a salve for those with wounded souls. If one had to become numb to some of the suffering in order to survive and nurture hope for the 2020 election, now is the time to begin to recover. Critical Storytelling should be part of the healing process. We must heal our pained souls, we must reawaken the depths of our empathy, if we are to restore our own humanity. Where do we begin? We begin by listening to each other. Start by reading Critical Storytelling, apply it directly to the injured area, repeat if necessary. Let the stories become a part of who you are, you will be restored, and ready to return to work on behalf of others."" - Althea Webb, Berea College ""If you're like me you are trying to make sense of a world led and influenced by the likes of Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Kim Jong-un. As we move into a new decade it is easy to be sad, disillusioned, and left without faith. However, Critical Storytelling in 2020: Issues, Elections and Beyond, is the book you didn't know you needed, but authentically resonates with the deepest part of your soul. This important compilation of student and faculty autoethnographies, poetry, research, and critical stories address some of the most pressing issues facing the world today. This book has helped me regain my sense of empathy and humanity in a time of wicked challenges and strife. And I believe it will do the same for you."" -Sydney Freeman, University of Idaho ""A major tenet of liberation is the freedom to define oneself. Dominant hegemonic discourses through systems of power, though, deny this freedom of expression by creating and maintaining false accounts and tales to marginalize and subordinate the ""other."" As Critical Race Theory informs us, counter narratives as storytelling have the potential to disrupt hegemonic regimes and uplift voices to push a society further toward liberation. Critical Storytelling in 2020: Issues, Elections, and Beyond presents a stunning collection of strong and formidable voices that have demanded and seized the freedom to self-define."" -Warren J. Blumenfeld, University of Massachusetts Amherst
