Summary
Human beings rely equally on narrative (or storytelling) and metaphor (or analogy) for making sense of the world. Narrative and Metaphor in Education integrates the two perspectives of narrative and metaphor in educational theory and practice at every level from pre-school to lifelong civic education.
Additional text
"This book is a valuable contribution to the use of narrative and metaphor in educational studies. The essays are original and exhibit an impressive range in both theory and practice at every level from pre-school to lifelong civic learning."
Martin Kreiswirth, Professor of English, McGill University.
"Narrative and Metaphor in Education provides a fascinating overview ofthe many facets of the metaphor-narrative interface in educational contexts, covering as it does the interdisciplinary themes of understanding, creating identity, framing, and envisaging other realities. Its contributions demonstrate the interdependence of metaphor and narrative and their key-role in both learning and teaching processes, intercultural communication and educational policy as well as in teacher and counsellor training and in the self-monitoring of educators. Together, its chapters provide a stimulating insight into a buoyant field of educational research, theory-building and professional practice."
Dr Andreas Musolff, Professor of Intercultural Communication, University of East Anglia.
