Dr. Fernandes discusses her most recent book Curated Stories: The Uses and Misuses of Storytelling. This book seeks to understand the rise of this storytelling culture alongside a broader shift to neoliberal free market economies. The book shows how in the turn to free market orders, stories have been reconfigured to promote liberal and neoliberal self-‐making and are restructured as easily digestible soundbites mobilized toward utilitarian ends.
