Narrative

Some notes from the work of Jean Clandinin and Michael Connolly on narrative that might appeal to you, plus some notes from a 2007 chapter by Clandinin and Rosiek


Moira Laidlaw's inaugral professorial lecture is well worth reading

Judi Marshal also has some very exciting publications on narrative as research.
 
Jean McNiff's site, including 'Living Portfolios: offering explanatory accounts for the lives we live' which might be of help to those who wonder what is the purpose for them of creating their accounts. Her chapter (12) In Clandinin (2006) 'My story is my living educational theory' is inspiring.

This is a really exciting book and well worth trying to get hold of. You might need to order it from South Africa. Some quotes

Very understandable paper some quotes
 
The journal’s primary purpose is to serve as a place for its author to sort ideas and observations. An internal dialog runs through its pages, of which on contributor said, “It’s the only truly frank conversation I can ever have.” In the end, journals may show more fully than any finished piece what it has meant to be us.
