Call for Submissions
We are currently looking for quality papers for consideration for the Autumn 2010 issue
[Narrative] in education
The narrative turn in research has been traveling its arc for several decades now transcending the labours of its predecessors in literary studies, historiography and the social sciences. Narrative approaches to research now pervade the social sciences; however, some of the most fertile ground has been found in the world of education. It is an approach “that frequently appeals to teachers and teacher educators” (Clandinin, Pushor & Orr, 2007, p. 21) because of the familiarity and comfort with story that all humans share. This appeal may also derive from the multiplicity/intertextuality of narratives in the lived-world of education and all that entails: school, teacher, student, parents, curriculum and traditions to name but a few.
The autumn issue of in education invites submissions that (re)present the explosion of narrative approaches to educational research including, but not limited to, autoethnography, autobiography, poetry, performance ethnography, narrative interviewing, life history, storytelling, ethnographic fiction, life writing, and mixed genres. Authors are encouraged to utilize the digital possibilities of the journal and share their works through images, text, video, audio, hyperlinks and/or an integration of these.
Full articles are due July 1st, 2010. Please see our "submission guidelines" for details regarding the process. Dr. Patrick Lewis is editor of this issue. Please contact him directly with your intent, or if you have any questions. He can be reached at patrick.lewis@uregina.ca.
