Collaborative Cross-Cultural Narrative Inquiry

Embracing Curiosity, Cultural Humility, and the Imagination

This unique book offers readers storied reflections about each step of the author’s own research and writing process, while also providing reflective prompts for readers embarking on their own journeys developing meaningful and mindful narrative studies.

Collaborative Cross-Cultural Narrative Inquiry invites readers to participate in the experience of engaging in and reflecting on the author’s collaborative cross-cultural narrative research online with Parvana, an Afghan woman living in Afghanistan until August 2021.

Storied reflections along with excerpts from interviews, storied data, doctoral assignments, peer feedback, analytic memos, and more illustrate how ethical practice, vulnerability, and care informed the collaborative exploration of Parvana’s life story and her daily multiple literacy practices for navigating Afghan society as an Afghan woman. Each chapter of this book offers reflections on individual elements of our cross-cultural narrative research to give readers an evocative account of our collaborative journey; at the end of each chapter, reflective prompts invite readers to engage in focused practice and explorations as they develop their own meaningful and mindful narrative studies. With its emphasis on research and relationship ethics, self-reflective practice, cultural humility, and creative approaches to analysis and representation, the cross-cultural narrative study at the heart of this textbook also offers readers insights into developing mindful and meaningful cross-cultural narrative research rooted in curiosity, humility, and the imagination.

This textbook is suitable for qualitative researchers, professors, students, and others from a wide variety of fields who are interested in teaching, researching, or learning more about designing and engaging in narrative research.
