About this ebook

Using Narrative Inquiry as a Research Method is the ideal introduction to a growing field of study. A full and accessible guide that covers the theory and practical applications of this qualitative method, it provides researchers with a rich framework through which they can investigate the ways people experience the world depicted through their stories. Looking at how this method can effectively be applied in a range of contexts, it demonstrates the value and utility of employing narrative as a research tool in a range of teaching and learning settings.

Connecting with the broader academic debate on the value of narrative as an alternative or addition to quantitative and other qualitative methods and updated to reflect changes in the field, this book

  • explores how to use narrative inquiry and gives tested and applied examples;
  • builds on theory to consider practical applications;
  • explores the narrative cross-boundaries between research and practice; and
  • presents a selection of case studies of research on quality in higher education, internationalisation and quality in cross-cultural contexts.

Using Narrative Inquiry as a Research Method provides the ideal grounding for all students and researchers looking to learn more about narrative inquiry or use this method within their research.
