ABSTRACT
Faculty and graduate students from every department participate in the Colloquium on Narrative, produce scholarship, and use narrative in the classroom. In other words, diffusion of narrative is central to academic life in the College. The Humanities Cafe features College faculty making their research accessible to the public. The Human Library, local residents are encouraged to share their own narratives, with the College not only cooperating but also facilitating. The international Human Library project began in Denmark as a way for community members to learn about their neighbors. The overall theme of the undertaking is "never judge a book by its cover". In Pocatello, the Marshall Public Library started their Human Library. Staff members from the Marshall had heard about the Colloquium on Narrative and contacted the College. The College of Arts & Letters' inaugural Conference on Narrative in April 2016 attracted paper proposals from universities in Utah, Chicago, New York, Israel, Bangladesh, and Idaho.
