Current Issue: Volume 29, Number 12 (2024) Volume 29 Number 12 - December 2024 - Narrative Practice Research Network Special Issue
Introduction
This special issue, a collaboration between The Qualitative Report and the Narrative Practice Research Network, is a rich and diverse collection of papers linking Narrative Therapy/Community Work and qualitative research. In four sections, authors explore narrative practice research innovations, practitioners doing research and influencing practice via Research As Daily Practice, insider knowledge/insider research towards broader social movement politics, and research in service of broader change. The special issue organizers and contributors hope this collection leads to more conversation and collaboration.
The first December article, an interview by David Denborough with TQR's Ron Chenail, Sally St. George, and Dan Wulff, serves as a “preface” to this special issue. In it, David Ron, Sally, and Dan recount histories of the interconnections between The Qualitative Report and the world of narrative therapy.
