RES 3020 - Narrative and Autoethnographic Research


This advanced research course focuses on the foundations and applications of narrative inquiry 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 the practical skills necessary to design and conduct narrative and autoethnographic research. Students identify how the theoretical and philosophical foundations of the narrative traditions align with their own philosophical orientations. Narrative and autoethnographic research are reviewed and critiqued. Students evaluate issues of research safety, ethics, and feasibility within their proposed research. Finally, students design the methods section of a research prospectus.  Prerequisite(s): RES 2300 Qualitative Data Collection and Analysis. In addition, all required foundational research courses (RES2xxx) as determined by student's program must be completed.
