PD25-09 Building Skill With Narrative Analysis

Session Type: Professional Development Course

Abstract

The purpose of this session is to help experienced, developing and emerging qualitative researchers to develop and build skill in using analytic tools within narrative research projects. The session begins by identifying philosophic bases for narrative research. Participants can select four of the nine 45-minute workshops offered. The workshop directors have expertise in the tools taught and have designed sessions and developed handouts that will enable researchers to use a wider range of analytic tools in narrative research: autobiographical narrative research, tools for multicultural studies, memory work, analysis with visuals, narrative beginnings, literary analysis, use of narrative vignettes with large data sets, narrative music analysis, and serial interpretation. Developing versatility and strength in analytic skills will enable researchers to produce more nuanced and trustworthy findings. During the session, researchers will learn the theoretical underpinnings of the tool, have hands-on experiences using it and have guidance in developing skill through interaction with experienced, published researchers who engage in narrative research. There is an additional course fee: Member: $90/Non-member: $115
