HOD-883NI Advanced Research Methodologies: Narrative Inquiry

2 or 4 semester credits
This course includes advanced studies and applied research projects, designed to develop skills in specific research methodologies and approaches. All the advanced research modules numbered 883XX are designed to enable students to learn a particular research method in depth. This module will examine Narrative Inquiry’s (NI) epistemology, assumptions and aims. Informed by feminism and critical theory, NI counteracts a dominant paradigm that privileges only a few voices. Narrative inquiry, as a methodology, does not superimpose the majority paradigm on people’s stories. Students review narrative research; learn how to develop research questions, criteria for selecting participants, and methods for collecting and analyzing stories. They also complete a mini narrative research project, conducting a short literature review, methodology protocol, collecting interviews and analyzing them. Related methodologies such as organic and co-inquiry will be reviewed. Skill development, meaning making, and standpoint in knowledge creation and development will be emphasized.
