RES 3020 - Narrative and Autobiographic Research

This advanced research course focuses on the foundations and applications of narrative inquiry and the closely related methodologies of autobiography, narratology, and autoethnography. These research approaches are based on the premise of new knowledge as discoverable from the individual lived experience with implications for others and society. This course provides an in-depth understanding of narrative and/or self-as-subject inquiry and the practical skills necessary to design and conduct narrative, autobiographical, and/or autoethnographic research. Students identify how the theoretical and philosophical foundations of the narrative traditions align with their own philosophical orientations. Narrative, autobiographical, and/or autoethnographic research are reviewed and critiqued. Students evaluate issues of research safety, ethics, and feasibility within their proposed research. Finally, students design a research proposal that reflects their dissertation plan.
