Summary:

Brings together a diverse group of narrative research scholars who share their actual experiences of learning, teaching, working, and growing in this field. It is argued that the wide variety of innovative approaches and expansive theoretical perspectives they offer will be helpful to those who are learning or teaching qualitative methods. Chapter authors challenge readers to think about narrative research in its own context while also maintaining original, personal voices that underscore the value this field places on an individual's communication of his or her experience. By revealing their struggles with qualitative research's emerging and evolving processes and their experiences working with students at various educational levels, these authors arm teachers with tools that anticipate common pitfalls and frustrations. In addition, the authors relate professional triumphs that illustrate effective teaching--and doing--of narrative research. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved)
