Description: Troubling Method seeks to extract narrative inquiry from method. The shift to a post-humanist, post-qualitative moment is a shift to understanding research as an ontology, a way of being in the world, rather than a mode of production.
Review Quotes: "Troubling Method nuances narrative research, provokes our thoughts on concepts taken for granted, and invites us all to rethink ways of inquiring from a relational perspective. The vulnerability and transparency the authors share through reflections on doing narrative research over several decades is refreshing and appreciated. Dialogue interludes in each section and the individually authored chapters shed light on the politics of doing inquiry and being a researcher. Whether you are new to narrative approaches or have been doing narrative research for years, this book will make you pause and then compel you to imagine doing inquiry differently." Candace R.
