But if the world is to survive, and humans are to find ways of co-existing on and with a broken planet, we need better ones. We must ask what kind of stories will help us to imagine and enact safer communities, kinder politics, and a habitable world. And we must not be willing to compromise on the telling of these stories. In this inaugural lecture, I ask how can we tell better stories about our work, our world, and our future, and consider what we might salvage, even gain, in the process.BiographyNick Caddick is Professor of Political Sociology and Deputy Director of the Veterans and Families Institute at Anglia Ruskin University. His work explores how narrative and storytelling shape the world around us, from the stories of everyday people to the global political forces that make and change our world. His recent works includes the 2024 book “The cultural politics of veterans’ narratives” in which he considered how veterans’ storytelling after war shapes our understanding of the morality and politics of war, and the paper ‘Film, narrative agency, and the politics of care in veteran Britain’, published in the Review of International Studies, exploring how filmmaking can provide opportunities for crafting new meaning and identity in the aftermath of military life. Currently, his work investigates the ‘politics of storytelling’ across various issues in global politics.Find out more about Prof. Nick Caddick here - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/cambridge/telling-better-stories-inaugural-lecture-in-person/100001980463382289 - **Event Categories**: Entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Cambridge - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: ARU Cambridge - **lat**: 52.20328689999999 - **long**: 0.1344584 - **full address**: ARU Cambridge, East Road, Cambridge, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Telling better stories: Inaugural Lecture IN-PERSON - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/e7e66c8367ad0eeead5852fe0d004655f23c144b6746b520319cac0a72c336dd-rimg-w1200-h1680-dc041733-gmir.jpg?v=1775826844 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Telling better stories: Inaugural Lecture IN-PERSON being held? - **A:** Telling better stories: Inaugural Lecture IN-PERSON takes place on Wed, 22 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Wed, 22 Apr, 2026 at 07:30 pm at ARU Cambridge, East Road, Cambridge, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Telling better stories: Inaugural Lecture IN-PERSON? - **A:** Telling better stories: Inaugural Lecture IN-PERSON is organized by Anglia Ruskin University - Community Engagement. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Telling better stories: Inaugural Lecture IN-PERSON", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/e7e66c8367ad0eeead5852fe0d004655f23c144b6746b520319cac0a72c336dd-rimg-w1200-h1680-dc041733-gmir.jpg?v=1775826844", "startDate": "2026-04-22T18:00:00+01:00", "endDate": "2026-04-22T19:30:00+01:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/cambridge/telling-better-stories-inaugural-lecture-in-person/100001980463382289", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "ARU Cambridge", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "East Road", "postalCode": "CB1 1PT", "addressLocality": "Cambridge", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "52.20328689999999", "longitude": "0.1344584" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join Professor Nick Caddick to explore how storytelling reduces inequality, advances social justice, and builds a better future.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-10", "availabilityEnds": "2026-04-22T19:30:00+01:00", "validFrom": "2026-04-10", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/cambridge/telling-better-stories-inaugural-lecture-in-person/100001980463382289" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-10", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-10", "url": "https://allevents.in/cambridge/telling-better-stories-inaugural-lecture-in-person/100001980463382289", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Anglia Ruskin University - Community Engagement", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/anglia-ruskin-university-community-engagement/22554261", "description": "Anglia Ruskin University aims to positively engage with its wider community.
