Though the program was popular with students and well-aligned with their academic and civic goals, Quinlan felt something was missing. While developing the curriculum, he attended a panel with N4 co-founder Colum McCann, N4 Artist Ishmael Beah, and N4 Artists Network Director Felice Belle. Their discussion on the power of storytelling inspired him to pursue training as a Story Exchange Facilitator and he soon began integrating these practices into the program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph alignwide has-text-align-wide\">Starting with his freshman-level, humanities-focused literature course, Professor Quinlan incorporated Narrative 4 practices\u2014such as deep listening and engaging in discourse with curiosity\u2014to deepen his students\u2019 connection to both their coursework and one another. To further enhance the program, he enlisted the support of Katy Detloff, a senior anthropology major at UTC, as an intern. Katy\u2019s role focused on applying Narrative 4\u2019s methodology to create an accessible, open platform for students to share their experiences and engage with complex topics like power and oppression. Katy facilitated Narrative 4 Story Exchanges with course participants and hosted listening sessions to gather insights into their experiences. Her personal commitment to processing her own journey as a student leader served as a courageous example for her peers, inspiring deeper engagement and reflection within the group.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_64180\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"573\" data-attachment-id=\"64180\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2024\/11\/story-of-impact-brave-spaces-in-a-college-cohort\/utc-1-1-1024x573\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/12\/UTC-1-1-1024x573-1.png\" data-orig-size=\"1024,573\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"UTC-1-1-1024&amp;#215;573\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/12\/UTC-1-1-1024x573-1.png\" class=\"wp-image-64180 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/12\/UTC-1-1-1024x573-1.png\" alt=\"\u201cOn her first day with the class, Katy modeled the Story Exchange with me in front of everyone.

The first exchange, held at the start of the fall semester, introduced students to N4 practices and built instant connections among the freshman class. The second exchange took place after a class visit to the Peace and Justice Memorial and Legacy Museum, both institutions centered on sharing the painful history of violence and racial injustice in the South. This experience allowed students to draw ties between their coursework and the exhibitions they witnessed. The Story Exchange provided students with a space to process how they felt about the stories they had absorbed.\u00a0 Katy shared that Narrative 4 created the potential for \u201cbrave spaces\u201d in these difficult conversations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph alignwide has-text-align-wide\">The third exchange happened one week after the 2024 Presidential Election. Initially, Quinlan had only planned two Story Exchanges during the course but students urged him to schedule another one before the course concluded. They even devised their own prompt for the final exchange \u2013\u00a0<strong><em>\u201ctell us a story about how you were able to find hope in the midst of a difficult time.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph alignwide has-text-align-wide\">This group of incredible students has exhibited courage while processing their experiences through the Story Exchange and their Narrative 4 experience won\u2019t end when the course closes out this winter. In 2025, UTC will launch a Narrative 4 club, advised by Professor Quinlan and fellow UTC Professor and N4 Regional Associate Kate Rudder. The club has already enlisted 13 founding members and aims to take Narrative 4\u2019s practices beyond the classroom walls. As one student noted, \u201cMy hope is that we take what we\u2019re learning here to meet and help other students and create someone new and powerful at UTC.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_64178\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"583\" data-attachment-id=\"64178\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2024\/11\/story-of-impact-brave-spaces-in-a-college-cohort\/utc-4-1-1024x583\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/12\/UTC-4-1-1024x583-1.png\" data-orig-size=\"1024,583\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"UTC-4-1-1024&amp;#215;583\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/12\/UTC-4-1-1024x583-1.png\" class=\"wp-image-64178 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/12\/UTC-4-1-1024x583-1.png\" alt=\"Photo credit: Narrative 4\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/12\/UTC-4-1-1024x583-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/12\/UTC-4-1-1024x583-1-768x437.png 768w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/12\/UTC-4-1-1024x583-1-800x455.png 800w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/12\/UTC-4-1-1024x583-1-580x330.png 580w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/12\/UTC-4-1-1024x583-1-610x347.png 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: Narrative 4<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Alex Quinlan was introduced to Narrative 4 while leading the Brock Scholars Program at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2024\/11\/story-of-impact-brave-spaces-in-a-college-cohort\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1493,"featured_media":64179,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12745,12746,7712],"tags":[125009,125010,123450],"class_list":{"0":"post-64177","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brock-scholars-honors-college","8":"category-faculty-and-staff","9":"category-honors-college-2","10":"tag-alex-quinlan","11":"tag-katy-detloff","12":"tag-narrative-4","13":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
