Publisher: American Psychological Association (APA)
ISBN: 9781433835674
Category : Narrative inquiry (Research method)
Languages : en
Pages : 102

This method offers researchers a window into how individuals' stories are shaped by the categories they inhabit, such as gender, race, class, and sexual identity, and it preserves the voice of the individual through a close textual analysis of their storytelling. About the Essentials of Qualitative Methods book series: Even for experienced researchers, selecting and correctly applying the right method can be challenging. In this groundbreaking series, leading experts in qualitative methods provide clear, crisp, and comprehensive descriptions of their approach, including its methodological integrity, and its benefits and limitations. Each book includes numerous examples to enable readers to quickly and thoroughly grasp how to leverage these valuable methods"--

Identity in Transition
Author: Christine Bataille
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
" Although numerous scholars claim that identity is an integral aspect of engaging in work and family, the extant literature falls short of explaining how women's identities evolve over time through the significant transitions involved in pursuing professional careers and raising families. In fact, much of the literature is grounded in the assumption that work and family represent competing identities for women. Missing from this body of literature is a conceptualization of pursuing a professional/managerial career and having a family as a complex set of transitions that provoke the questions, "Who am I?" and "Who/what do I want to be?" Through a narrative study of 35 professional/managerial women, I uncover novel forms of narrative identity work that illuminate how women construct, revise and present their identities as they transition from university students to young professionals, from non-mothers to mothers, and from childless employees to those with childcare responsibilities. Further, I posit that these forms of narrative identity work reflect three higher-order identity processes: identity exploration, identity adaptation, and identity expression. Through a within and between-case examination of the configurations of identity processes across the three transitions, I uncover four dominant patterns that provide novel insights into how women's identities evolve over time on the path to professional and mother." --

Anaïs Nin and the Remaking of Self
Author: Diane Richard-Allerdyce
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780875802329
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
Nin's struggle for success is presented as part of a long and complex history - that of women's effort to find a means of expressing female experiences in writing. For Nin, the struggle included an attempt to embody a "feminine mode of being" in her writing. Because Nin herself stressed the centrality of gender to her identity, her relation to women's studies and her treatment of gender provide the basis for understanding her work.
