摘要

One of the most powerful teaching tools I have ever found is to have students tell stories to illustrate various kinds of problems. These can be especially effective to those of us inured to PowerPoint presentations of data dump, where speakers endlessly read to us a bunch of numbers or show us bullet points of text. It is remarkable how a simple story can persuade an audience to take action, when other rhetorical devices have not worked. Our lead article in this issue makes this point extremely well. As the author states, "storytelling is one of the hardwired instincts of our species and probably the most natural-meaning that it is evolutionarily designed-way of human communication and learning." He goes on to demonstrate how powerful narrative can be, and students can learn a great deal by collecting and reflecting upon their stories. To make his case, the author draws on the storytelling performance in the context of two different ecological conditions: those of the Ju/wasi hunter-gatherers of the Kalahari desert in South Africa and those of modern industrial workers.
