Digging into narrative inquiry

This week, week two, featured the introduction of narrative inquiry into our storymaking matrix. Dr. Mitchell delivered a slide presentation on the topic [link to powerpoint slides] and embedded on one of the slides is a video presentation on the same topic by Jean Clandinin. We also read and discussed a short chapter about narrative research by Clandinin and an article by Dr. Mitchell on Gottschalk and the Bamboula Rhythm. Narrative research is an interesting and powerful technique for unearthing and mining intersectional narrative strands that might otherwise remain invisible.
