HOD-883NI Advanced Research Methodologies: Narrative Inquiry2 or 4 semester credits
This course 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. Through narrative life voices of those marginalized emerge. Narratives provide coherence to human experience and have a central role to communicate this to others. Storytelling is a powerful tool to collect data and gather information. Narrative research studies the whole person in context and taps in to emotional material and memories to reveal patterns of making meaning 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 stand-point in knowledge creation and development will be emphasized.
