What stories can we tell of ourselves and others and why should
they be of interest to others?
Exploring Learning, Identity and Power through Life History and
Narrative Research responds to these questions with examples from
diverse educational and social contexts. The book brings together a
collection of writing by different authors who use a narrative/life
history approach to explore the experiences of a wide range of
people, including teachers, nurses, young people and adults,
reflecting on learning and education at significant moments in
their lives. In addition, each chapter provides an account by the
author of the process of constructing research narratives, and the
second chapter of the book focuses specifically on ethical issues
in life history and narrative research.
This book:
- provides vivid examples of a narrative/life history approach to
research
- uses narrative/life history to explore identity, power and
social justice
- offers an effective model for practice.
With contributions from a number of international experts, this
book addresses key issues of social justice and power played out
within different contexts, and also discusses the ethics of
narrative research directly. The book makes a timely contribution
to the growing interest in the use of narrative and life history
research. With the increasing importance of continuing professional
development for many working in education, health and social
service contexts, the book will be of interest to both students and
researchers, as it provides clear examples of how researching
professionals can use narrative research to investigate a
particular area of interest.
