How a Doctor in India Came to See Stories as Protest
Featuring Raviraj Shetty
In medical school, Raviraj Shetty was trained to see bodies as problems to fix. Until he met a 14-year-old client who changed everything. What followed was a shift toward narrative practices that treat people not as diagnoses, but as authors of their own lives. Now, working with indigenous communities, Raviraj uses narrative practices as resistance and protest against structural violence.
