Narrative Methods? Beyond Methods “Experts” in Relocating Narrativizing Philosophies in the Curriculum

Fri, April 4, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Convention Center, Floor: 100 Level, 119A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Drawing on narrativize as hermeneutic philosophy, researchers in this panel move beyond current understandings of narrative as research methodology. Unsettled by understandings of narrative as research “methods” inherent in instrumentalized credentialing, accountability, and effective teaching research, researchers in this panel recover, reconstruct, and advance narrativizing curriculum theory in autobiography, life history, and practical curriculum. Recovering, reconstructing, and advancing curriculum theory with a focus on narrativizing hermeneutic philosophy, researchers on this panel present new narrativizing curriculum theory working with autobiography, life history, and narrative philosophies not as research methodologies but rather as curriculum theory. As researchers in this panel demonstrate by relocating narrative “methods” in curriculum theory, autobiography, life history, and practical narrative – transcending understanding of research “methods” – break new ground in curriculum while challenging methodological boundaries.
