Their talk, &#8220;Trans\/Narrative\/Queer\/Play,&#8221; was drawn from their monograph project of the same title, and focused on narrative as a meaning-making and reality-building process with emergent and quantum possibilities. Below are a couple of images from the talk and the pedagogy lunch, which Dr. Cody also spoke at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ubwp.buffalo.edu\/amatryx\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/199\/2026\/07\/19061-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"An image of Cody Mejeur delivering their talk as a Contemporary Narrative speaker at the Narrative 2026 conference in Aarhus, Denmark.
