Narrative Inquiry in Education Research
Professional Development Course @ AERA, San Francisco, 2013
Instructors:
Colette Daiute, The Graduate Center, City University of New York
Phil Kreniske, Graduate Center & Hunter College, CUNY
This professional development workshop presents an approach to research that builds on the natural processes of narrating in everyday life. The course offers a theoretical overview, examples, and hands-on modules for narrative inquiry addressing questions of teaching, learning and development. The format is a sequence of presentations and guided activities for narrative research design and narrative analysis. The goals of the course are to define and enact a socio-cultural approach to narrative inquiry with consistent education research design strategies and data analysis tools. A feature of this workshop is the innovative systematic approach to practice-based research using narrative to mediate social relations, diversity, and learning across a range of educational contexts. These goals are addressed with examples from prior funded and published research. Participants are beginning and advanced researchers interested in learning about and applying narrative methods in their projects. All are welcome (but not required) to bring descriptions and data to apply to the course syllabus.
