Spring 2019 Curriculum Theory Project Public Lecture

Troubling Method: Narrative Research as Being
Featuring Dr. Petra Munro Hendry & Dr. Roland W. Mitchell

Troubling Method book cover

Thursday, February 21 | 4:30-6:00 PM | 225 Peabody Hall

Troubling Method: Narrative Research as Being seeks to remove narrative inquiry from method. The shift to a post-humanist, post-qualitative moment seeks to understand research as an ontology, a way of being in the world, rather than a mode of production. Fundamental assumptions of research: method, data, analysis, and findings are understood as an ethico-onto-epistemological mode of relational intra-action.
