,researchers,collect,stories,from,individuals,(and,documents,,and,group,conversations),about,individuals'
,lived,and,told,experiences.

Narrative,stories,tell,of,individual,experiences,,and,they,may,shed,light,on,the,identities,of,individuals,an

,often,are,heard,and,shaped,by,the,researchers,into,a,chronology,,although,they,may,not,be,told,that,wa
y,by,the,participant(s).
-
,stories,often,contain,turning,points,(Denzin,,1989),or,specific,tensions,or,transitions,or,interruptions,tha
t,are,highlighted,by,the,researchers,in,the,telling,of,the,stories.,Such,incidents,can,serve,as,organizing,str
uctures,for,recounting,the,story,including,the,lead-
up,and,consequences.,Daiute,(2014),identifies,four,types,of,patterns,(across,narratives,of,one,individual,

n's
Describe,a,autoethnography,,ANS,-
,,is,written,and,recorded,by,the,individuals,who,are,the,subject,of,the,study,(Ellis,,2004;,Muncey,,2010).,
Muncey,(2010),defines,autoethnography,as,the,idea,of,multiple,layers,of,consciousness,,the,vulnerable,s
elf,,the,coherent,self,,critiquing,the,self,in,social,contexts,,the,subversion,of,dominant,discourses,,and,th

Determine,if,the,research,problem,is,best,examined,using,a,narrative,approach.

-,Embed,a,collaborative,approach,in,the,collection,and,telling,of,stories.
-,Present,the,narrative,in,written,form,by,adapting,the,general,reporting,structure,as,appropriate.
define,the,process,of,restoring,,ANS,-
,,This,is,an,approach,in,narrative,data,analysis,in,which,the,researchers,retell,the,stories,of,individual,exp
eriences,,and,the,new,story,typically,has,a,beginning,,a,middle,,and,an,ending
What,are,some,challenges,of,narrative,research?,,ANS,-,,-

vidual's,experiences
-,explaining,the,multilayered,context,of,a,life
