Introducing key ideas of narrative inquiry, this is the first book to explore in depth the theoretical underpinnings of the methodology. The authors open up ways of thinking about people's experiences and their lives, which are situated and shaped by cultural, social, familial, institutional, and linguistic narratives. The authors draw on a range of theorists, creative nonfiction writers, poets, and essayists. The book is arranged into five parts covering a range of topics including: embodiment, memory, knowledge, wonder, imagination, community, responsibility, and place. Each section ends with a methodological discussion of their work involving refugee families with young children from Syria.

Introduces the key theoretical underpinnings behind narrative inquiry.
Testo aggiuntivo
This book is elegantly written as it provides theoretical underpinnings and rich storied reflexivity into narrative inquiry. I find it particularly powerful how the authors, with a genuine curiosity, take the readers travelling into new discoveries on how our lives are shaped by human and non-human relations over time.
