Cultivating equity through storytelling in higher education

Using Brookfield's model of reflection, this manuscript examined the relationship between equity and storytelling in higher education through the self, student, peer, and literature lenses. Specifically, it explored how the narratives of historically marginalized and underrepresented students might cultivate equity within academic institutions. The practical application section includes a sample student story and a thematic application. Furthermore, student storytelling templates, limitations, considerations, implications, and recommendations for future research within higher education institutions are included.
