Routledge Narrative Inquiry for Educational Research - Asia Pacific

Narrative inquiry is transforming educational research across the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Northern Europe, yet remains underutilized in Hong Kong, Macao and Mainland China where quantitative methods still dominate. This Routledge Research in Education book addresses the challenge narrative inquirers face when seeking recognition for their work in these contexts. The text demonstrates creatively, accessibly and rigorously how narrative inquiry functions as a rigorous methodological approach within educational research. By bridging Western and Asia-Pacific perspectives, this resource equips researchers, academics and educators with frameworks to justify and implement narrative inquiry methods in their own studies, ultimately expanding the disciplinary acceptance of this qualitative approach across diverse educational settings and geographic regions.
