Narrative Inquiry in Practice

Narrative Inquiry in Practice is a research approach that explores people's stories to understand their experiences and perspectives. It involves carefully listening to and analyzing personal stories to uncover insight into how individuals make sense of their lives and the world around them. This method values the richness and complexity of human stories, recognizing that personal narratives reveal important cultural, social, and emotional elements. Practitioners often gather stories through interviews or written accounts, then interpret these narratives to gain a deeper understanding of people's identities, beliefs, and experiences in real-world settings.
