Narrative inquiry examines human lives through the lens of a narrative,
honoring lived experience as a source of important knowledge and
understanding. In this concise volume, D. Jean Clandinin, one of the
pioneers in using narrative as research, updates her classic formulation
on narrative inquiry (with F. Michael Connelly), clarifying, extending
and refining the method based on an additional decade of work. A
valuable feature is the inclusion of several exemplary cases with the
author's critique and analysis of the work. The rise of interest in
narrative inquiry in recent years makes this is an essential guide for
researchers and an excellent text for graduate courses in qualitative
inquiry.
