Science in culture: narrating complexity
The ICNS response to the AHRC large grants call for the "Science in Culture" theme was “Narrating Complexity,” an ambitious exploration of the interrelated domains of the Narrative and Complex Systems research theme.
Interdisciplinary methodology
"Narrative and Complex Systems: Developing and Interdisciplinary Methodology" is a Leverhulme International Network proposal to test the benefits of the non-consilient interdisciplinary methodology of the NarCS workshops.

Fictionality before and beyond fiction
This network project combines the Aarhus Fictionality group’s emphasis upon fictionality outside of generic fictions with the York Fictionality group's interest in the historicity of fictionality.

Narratology and ideology
A recurrent issue of the Narrative in the Humanities theme is the relation of formalism and thematics, which is now the focus of a projected collection of new essays entitled Narratology and Ideology: Encounters between Narrative Theory and Postcolonial Criticism.
