Abstract

Guided by Pinar’s conception of currere (1994), Foucault’s discursive approach, and the methodology of duoethnography as described by Norris, Sawyer and Lung (2012), two researchers created a transformative dialogical conversation with the aid of researcher found photographs. Data analysis of the photo-elicited interview transcript was constant-comparatively coded (Glaser, 1992) into two found poems (Butler-Kisber, 2002). This analysis results in a new conceptual space and understanding of the other in regards to how the past informs the present and future for the researchers as married parents. Guiding this research was the central question: How does a married couple with a daughter negotiate their shared and different perspectives on family and child rearing in relation to the past, present, and future?
