Abstract:

This presentation will screen the documentary film, Emerging Horizons, that was produced as part of a philosophical hermeneutics-guided PhD research project at the University of Calgary. The film chronicles a Digital Storytelling workshop with young adult (YA) cancer survivors and shares the digital stories they created. Through the documentary itself and the interpretations provided in and through group discussion of the film, attendees will come to a deeper understanding of how Digital Storytelling could be used to access the lived experiences of poorly understood and underserved clinical populations.
