Section Title:
Storying as Res Methodology
Section Info:
Storying as Qualitative Methodology offers a scholarly examination of storied frameworks (including storywork, counterstory, and social fiction) and provides students with a comprehensive understanding of various theoretical underpinnings inherent in storied research. Engaging with interdisciplinary perspectives, students will navigate diverse narrative landscapes, from personal narratives to speculative stories to cultural myths. Through rigorous analysis and interpretation, students will cultivate proficiency in discerning contextual nuances and thematic intricacies within narratives. Moreover, this course underscores the imperative of reflexivity and ethical considerations inherent in narrative research practices. By scrutinizing the manifold roles of storytelling in identity formation, meaning construction, and narrative disruption, students will gain profound insights into the multifaceted nature of qualitative inquiry. By integrating hands-on exercises, participants will hone their storytelling skills, whether through oral histories, digital narratives, or autoethnographic accounts.
