Can stories about students and classrooms be the basis for
meaningful research? In this book, the authors describe and tell
illustrative stories about the potential and limits of narrative
for the purpose of inquiry in English education. They argue that
narrative inquiry is uniquely suited to the questions educators are
asking in the field today. This book introduces us to narrative
scholars who engage us in philosophical and methodological
discussions and it describes how narrative works in relation to the
telling of a story or stories. It also provides examples of
narrative inquiry to inspire you to create academic work that is
both imaginative and responsible. On Narrative Inquiry will be
useful to graduate students and novice and experienced researchers
who want to learn more about the range of methodological
considerations for compiling and presenting narrative accounts.
Book Features: An overview of the use of narrative research in
language and literacy education. Guidance for theorising, defining,
conducting, and crafting narrative inquiry. Examples of the various
forms narrative inquiry might take. A final chapter that offers a
provocation about future considerations for narrative inquiry.
