Places are now available on a two-day training workshop on
Biographic-narrative Interpretive Method (BNIM), organised by the ESRC
National Centre for Research Methods
The event will be held on 13 - 14 January 2005 at the Institute of
Education, run by Dr Prue Chamberlayne and Tom Wengraf.
Biographic-narrative interviewing is taking off. However, it is difficult
to appreciate what has to be unlearnt to do such interviews well and what
has to be learnt to get full value from their interpretation. BNIM has been
successfully used in Britain and Europe for cross-national comparative work
and in wide-ranging studies of professional practice and user experience.
We are currently exploring its affinities with psycho-societal approaches to
inter-subjective complexity and organisational dynamics. The 2-day workshop
provides practical tasters of BNIM, both of its open interview approach and
of its two track triangulated method of future blind chunk-by-chunk panel
interpretation. It includes examples of writing-up case accounts and of
theorising beyond the case. We use plenary sessions and small workshops to
ensure hands-on experience of procedures together with participative discussion.
