title: Social Fiction for Social Enterprise
summary: Research and workshops on the uses of speculative fiction
---

MEDLab offers workshops for community-oriented enterprises of all stages using methods of speculative fiction. In collaboration with science-fiction writer and activist [Cadwell Turnbull](https://cadwellturnbull.com/publications/), we are developing a methodology for applying narrative practices to the imaginative process of enterprise building—addressing challenges of internal governance, stakeholder acquisition, and social impact. In addition to helping entrepreneurs and their communities develop their own narratives, we commission original works from leading authors.
