The MA, Postgraduate Diploma, Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate
Associate Certificate programmes in Narrative Research at CNR are unique
interdisciplinary programmes, drawing on social sciences and the humanities
to provide graduate-level education in narrative theories and methods. The
programmes give students experience in the application of narrative concepts
and analysis to particular fields. The MA guides them through the planning
and performance of a piece of advanced and original narrative research. In
addition, the programmes develop more general skills of review, criticism,
and team and individual research, all within the context of narrative
research.
CNR offers the following Masters-level module, onsite and by distance
learning, in September-December 2009:
Narrative Research Starting September 2009 onsite and by distance learning
This module provide students with an overview of the range of narrative
research methodologies. Beginning with an exploration of the meaning of
narrative, the module outlines Labovian methods, biographical methods and
context-oriented methods. It then considers three key fields of narrative
research: oral, personal narratives; written narratives (including
autobiographies and letters); and visual narratives. Through a range of
theoretical perspectives, we shall be attempting to address a number of
questions; for instance: How do people come to see themselves as distinct
subjects about whom a story can be told? What role do memory, ideology, sense
of audience, etc. play in people's accounts of their lives? How do class,
ethnicity, gender and other social characteristics shape the stories people
tell? What do we look for when we analyze accounts of people's lives?
