Description
Narrative Inquiry: Philosophical Roots explores the theoretical foundations of narrative inquiry, a methodology that seeks to understand people's experiences and lives through their stories. The authors draw on diverse thinkers and writers to illuminate key concepts such as embodiment, memory, knowledge, wonder, imagination, community, responsibility, and place. The book is structured into five parts, each addressing a distinct topic, accompanied by methodological discussions of the authors' work with refugee families from Syria. This approach provides insight into the practical applications of narrative inquiry in real-world contexts. By examining the philosophical underpinnings of this methodology, readers can gain a deeper understanding of how to approach narrative inquiry and its potential for shedding light on complex social issues.
