ABSTRACT The stories in this article opened the 2018 International Transformative Learning (TL) Conference. Mezirow founded this conference to grow living theory, but over time, paradoxically, allegiance to his framing of TL can be seen as limiting growth. The Conference designers invited participation from new geographical, cultural, social and political perspectives to bring forward unheard voices to create bridges among differences. Framed by the imaginal and holistic approaches to TL, this article shares the personal stories of transformation narrated by five panelists and the ‘wicked’ questions these stories evoked. The authors reflect on the humanizing, heart-ful space that sharing stories created, which re-minded those present of shared community. TL is about change in the individual, as theory seeks to explain; yet it is also about embedded social, cultural norms and assumptions that shape and sustain systems. The authors conclude by reflecting on the humanizing potential of narrative, as well as the theorizing about the interdependence between individual and systemic transformation.

您的故事，我们的故事：生活叙事的变革力量

摘要本文中的故事开启了2018年国际转化学习（TL）会议。梅兹洛（Mezirow）创立了这个会议，以发展理论，但随着时间的流逝，自相矛盾的是，对他对TL框架的忠诚可能被视为限制了增长。会议的设计师邀请了来自新的地理，文化，社会和政治角度的与会者参加会议，提出了前所未有的声音，以在分歧之间建立桥梁。在TL的虚构和整体方法的框架下，本文分享了五位小组成员讲述的有关转型的个人故事以及这些故事引发的“邪恶”问题。作者反思了共享故事创建的人性化，充满激情的空间，这些故事重新提醒了共享社区中的人们。正如理论试图解释的那样，TL是关于个体的变化的。然而，它也涉及形成和维持系统的嵌入式社会，文化规范和假设。作者的结论是反思叙事的人性化潜力，以及个体化和系统性转变之间相互依存的理论。
