A Space for Creative Inquiry & Practice
Writing, teaching, and cultural work through narrative inquiry.
The Ed Factory works at the intersection of the arts, the humanities, and the study of social connection. We design place-based teacher institutes, facilitate oral history remix and writing workshops, and provide writing support for new and longtime educators, writers, cultural workers, and community members who want to think, question, and create by examining and telling the stories that shape their lived experiences.
Grounded in narrative inquiry, audioethnography (oral history remix), and layered storytelling, our mission is to build understanding across difference by creating spaces where people practice a love pedagogy™: step into each other’s words, listen across difference, connect, and create.
“It was so wonderful to meet the inspiring educators and leaders who presented at the Ed Factory’s Teachers Institute, to work with longtime educators, and to hear of the exciting work done by my colleagues. This is my 32nd year of teaching. The Institute challenged me to think more deeply about my teaching in really meaningful ways. ”
