The Weekly Review

Situating Narrative Construction within Social Dynamics and Context to Create Complex Meaning: A Review of the Book Analyzing Narrative Reality

Becky De Oliveira
Nova Southeastern University, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, USA

Qualitative Research Resource of the Week

Ethnography of the University Initiative (EUI) engages students in research on what they know and care about: their own universities. Student work is public and preserved, housed in a dynamic on-line archive designed to encourage future generations of students to build on past student research. EUI guides students to think about colleges and universities in relation to their communities as well as in national and global contexts.

The Qualitative Report Second Annual Conference

The TQR Second Annual Conference will feature a three-hour workshop by Dr. Karen Wilson Scott, TQR Editor, and Dr. Robin Cooper, TQR Associate Editor, entitled, "Exploring Methods for Exploring Identity: Biographical Narrative and Phenomenological Research." Attendees of this interactive workshop will discover how biographical narrative research and phenomenology provide two distinctly different paths for researchers exploring identity. Participants will practice life story and phenomenological interviewing, develop a chronology from a biographical narrative transcript, and perform a bracketing exercise to gain "epoche." Come to the workshop to uncover your own sense of identity as a researcher as you thoughtfully approach uncovering the worldviews of others! For more information on this workshop and the conference, please email tqr@nova.edu.
