Summary:

This guide provides a brief outline of a narrative inquiry approach, specifically oral history research, which theoretically acts as both a practice and method that illuminates the experiences of unrepresented and marginalised individuals and/or communities. Rather than an exhaustive overview, this is a brief guide to recognising and valuing oral history as an effective tool in giving a voice to those who have been underserved and marginalised. We will examine epistemological and practical considerations, using a real-life example of research strategies, demonstrating how oral history was employed to capture the voices of Black leaders. The example is specific to social justice issues of race and underrepresented Black leaders in schools; however, the example is utilised simply to illustrate one approach. The rationales and principles can be used to illicit experiences of any underrepresented and marginalised groups and applied across any sector/discipline due to the interdisciplinary nature of this method.
