Other books in subject:
Introducing key ideas of narrative inquiry, this is the first book to explore in depth the theoretical underpinnings of the methodology. The authors open up ways of thinking about people's experiences and their lives, which are situated and shaped by cultural, social, familial, institutional, and linguistic narratives. The authors draw on a range of theorists, creative nonfiction writers, poets, and essayists. The book is arranged into five parts covering a range of topics including: embodiment, memory, knowledge, wonder, imagination, community, responsibility, and place. Each section ends with a methodological discussion of their work involving refugee families with young children from Syria.

Reviews

This book is so meaningful. It is such an inspiration for us, the ones interested in understanding this path, and in the living, telling and retelling of our stories. Beginning and experienced students and readers of all levels and from all over the world will find great support throughout this book so they can explore their ways to inquire into experience. * Dilma Mello, Professor of Education, Federal University of Uberlandia, Brazil * Inspired, poetical and philosophical, narrative inquiry is expanded to include intergenerational and ontological practises that are central to the post qualitative world. The authors have created a liminal work grounded in ethics that will give new meaning to research during precarious times. * Julianne Moss, Alfred Deakin Professor and Director of Research for Educational Impact, Deakin University, Australia * This book is elegantly written as it provides theoretical underpinnings and rich storied reflexivity into narrative inquiry. I find it particularly powerful how the authors, with a genuine curiosity, take the readers travelling into new discoveries on how our lives are shaped by human and non-human relations over time. * Elin Eriksen Ψdegaard, Director of KINDknow - Kindergarten Knowledge Centre for Systemic Research on Diversity and Sustainable Futures, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Norway *
