Dear Dewey, I would love to see what you come up with re: evaluation tools.
Pls. keep me posted.

To answer your question about my work, I teach storytelling to undergrads and
am doing Ph.D. research on storytelling and values. So rather than an expert
on any of this, I am a student and a researcher. I have a grant to work with
the International Storytelling Center (National Storytelling Network sister
org., in case you're not so familiar with these orgs.) to bring together the
most prominent names in conflict transformation and peace-building with
storytellers doing this work. The plan is to develop a curriculum and
eventually teach this work through the Center. I'm developing a bibliography
and other materials that I hope will be of help. I am also coordinator of
HSA's Social Action Committee in order to better learn and communicate about
this, as well as storytelling with regard to the environment, social justice
and other social issues. At this point, what I ask of people who are
interested in the Committee is to discuss these issues on the listserve,
contribute ideas/articles to the newsletter or journal (through me if you
wish), and to let me know of any human or written resources you have found
regarding this work--including your own.

Based on your background, your storytelling and community-building, etc.
would be invaluable to all of us. Or, if you prefer, I will give you a call
to discuss.

All the best,
Caren Neile
