This digital library offers a curated collection of resources for anyone interested in narrative strategy as a tool for fostering a healthy pluralistic democracy and transformative change. Whether you're new to the concept of how narratives shape our world or you're an experienced practitioner, this collection provides essential materials to support your work. You'll find a variety of resources, including articles, research papers, toolkits, case studies, and practical frameworks.
This library was created by a Narrative Community of Practice dedicated to advancing the field of narrative change and strategic communications in service of building a flourishing multiracial, multifaith, politically vibrant democracy. Co-led by the Othering and Belonging Institute at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Center for Inclusion and Belonging at the American Immigration Council, the Community of Practice brings together pluralism practitioners to align strategies, strengthen capacity, deepen bridging and narrative approaches, and plant seeds for new collaborations.
Special thanks to Kiyomi Niara James, UC Berkeley, and Aliyah Armstrong, OBI Summer Fellow, for leading the development of this resource and bringing this collection to life.
This initiative has been supported by New Pluralists since its inception in 2023. The views expressed here do not necessarily represent the views of New Pluralists.
