The article, Situating Narrative Inquiry, was intimidating the moment I opened the folder and saw 34 pages. Reading such lengthy material creates an anxious feeling that makes you want to stop reading before you even begin but I got through it and chose 3 quotes that I liked.
1. "We use the term "turn" strategically because we want to emphasize the movement from one way of thinking to another and highlight the fact that such changes can occur rapidly or slowly, depending on the experience of the researchers and their experiences when doing research." pg 7 in regards to "Four Themes in the Turn Toward Narrative Inquiry" To me, this means that research may or may not come easy.
2. "In turning, narrative inquirers recognize that the researcher and the researched in a particular study are in relationship with each other and that both parties will learn and change in the encounter" pg 8 The research being conducted may or may not shift your opinion.
3. "The convergence between social science and the public is undoubtedly good for narrative." pg 30 This allows the reader to understand that different sources can develop different questions for the researcher.
