Life writing projects have become part of the expanding field of
qualitative research methods in recent years and advances in
critical approaches are reshaping methodological pathways. Critical
Approaches to Life Writing Methods in Qualitative Research gives
researchers and students looking for a brief compendium to guide
their methodological thinking a concise and working overview of how
to approach and carry out different forms of life writing. This
practical book re-invigorates the conversation about the
possibilities and innovative directions qualitative researchers can
take when engaged in various forms of life writing, such as
biography, autobiography, autoethnography, life history, and oral
history. It equips the reader with the tools to carry out life
writing projects from start to finish, including choosing a topic
or subject, examining lives as living data, understanding the role
of documents and artifacts, learning to tell the story, and finally
writing/performing/displaying through the voice of the life writer.
The authors also address the ways a researcher can begin a project,
work through the issues they might face along the journey, and
arrive at a shareable product. With its focus on the plurality of
life writing methodologies, Critical Approaches to Life Writing
Methods in Qualitative Research occupies a distinct place in
qualitative research scholarship and offers practical exercises to
guide the researcher. Examples include exploring authorial voice,
practical applications of reflexivity exercises, the relationship
between the narrator and participants, navigating the use of public
and private archives, understanding the processes of collaborative
inquiry and collaborative writing, and writing for various
audiences.
