Liberating Scholarly Writing: The Power of Personal Narrative

by Robert J. Nash

This book provides an alternative to the more conventional modes of qualitative and quantitative inquiry currently used in professional training programs, particularly in education. It features a very accessible presentation that combines application, rationale, critique, and inspiration—and is itself an example of this kind of writing.

It teaches students how to use personal writing in order to analyze, explicate, and advance their ideas. And it encourages minority students, women, and others to find and express their authentic voices by teaching them to use their own lives as primary resources for their scholarship.

[Tamara · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a book that enlarges serious scholarship and believes that "every life story has the potential to teach." It's a postmodern look at scholarship and a great read.
