Assignment Two requires you to write an essay that explores how narrative work and notions of
voice can help us, as community psychologists, work towards understanding power, promoting
empowerment and social justice in our research and practice.
You will need to choose a community of interest to you – whether professionally or personally – and
reflect on how a narrative approach and notions of voice could be utilised in your chosen community
of interest to advance well-being and social change. Examples of a community of interest might be
the disabled community, immigrant populations, or those with severe mental illness etc.
You are required to utilise ALL FIVE COMPULSORY assignment readings to explore how you could
work with and for that community through a narrative approach. The COMPULSORY readings for
Assignment 2 were chosen to give you an understanding of the breadth of issues involved with
narrative research and notions of voice. They have also been chosen to address some of the
complexities and diversities in practice using the insights and values that psychology can bring to
issues of social justice and change, in institutions and communities and the people who are affected.
You need to understand the issues each of these articles raise. ALL FIVE OF THE COMPULSORY
READINGS NEED TO BE UTILISED IN YOUR ESSAY.
You will need to:
 Explain narrative approaches to research and practice and notions of voice, and their
implications for us as psychologists and the communities we are working with/for;
 Consider issues of both methodology (process) and outcome (impact);
 Be able to argue the effects of narrative approaches and voice to social change and social
justice;
 Be able to engage with issues of power as they relate to issues of ethical activism and
political practice for us as community psychologists (hint: Reading 4 will help you reflect on
how psychology is implicated in relationships and practices of power, and how we might
respond to these concerns);
 Be able to give an example from a chosen community of interest.
