Synopsis
Examining narrative methods in the context of its multi-disciplinary social science origins, this text looks at its theoretical underpinnings, while retaining an emphasis on the process of doing narrative research. The authors provide a comprehensive guide to narrative methods, taking the reader from initial decisions about forms of narrative analysis, through more complex issues of reflexivity, interpretation and the research context.
The contributions included here clearly demonstrate the value of narrative methods for contemporary social research and practice. This book will be invaluable for all social science postgraduate students and researchers looking to use narrative methods in their own research.

Review
Written by an international and interdisciplinary team of experts in the field of narrative research, the anthology demonstrates theoretical, methodological and practical issues of narrative research. This volume can be an invaluable resource for understanding what is narrative research, how we do this and what narrative does to our lives. (Rumana Hashem DIEGESIS)
Doing Narrative Research is a wonderful introduction for anyone not familiar with the current interests of a broad range of social scientists and fieldworkers or the methodological and theoretical foundations at the heart of those interests. To undertake seriously the kinds of theoretical introspection urged here would, I am sure, expand the horizons of oral history analysis and enrich our understanding of what it is we do. (Ronald Grele, Columbia University)
