Narrative inquiry in social context

This interdisciplinary volume examines how narrative analysis can be used to study human development. Its chapters bring together different perspectives on the methods, values, and limitations of narrative inquiry, organized around the idea that identity and knowledge develop within changing social environments. Case studies and pedagogical material connect the discussion to research and teaching across fields including sociology, psychology, social work, education, and anthropology. The book’s emphasis is both methodological—how to assess narrative approaches—and conceptual, considering how individual development relates to social settings.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Qualitative researchers seeking an introduction to narrative inquiry’s approaches and limitations.
  • Students and instructors in sociology, psychology, social work, education, or anthropology.
  • Researchers interested in connections between identity, knowledge, and social environments.
