Course content |
|
In the last twenty years there has been an explosion of interest in narrative research in a number of disciplines ranging from political sciences, business studies to medicine and law. In this course we will focus on narrative approaches for organizational and communication research (Boje, 1991, 2001, 2008) Czarniawska (1997, 1998, 2004) Gabriel (1991, 2004) Musacchio Adorisio (2009, 2011, 2015) Søderberg (2010, 2011, 2014). Narrative and stories are part of the fabric and life of organizations and can become powerful tools for control and coordination of organizational activities. Narrative research encompasses both the method of choice and the phenomena studied. The narrative turn in organizational and communication research has raised a number of complex questions about the nature of narrative knowledge, how it might be employed to address organizational and communication research questions and how to analyze the orality, textuality and materiality of stories in organizations. This PhD course will introduce participants to the core theoretical and methodological issues involved in using narrative approaches in organizational and communication research and discuss the variety of ways in which narrative enters the organizational and communication research realm. The seminar will provide participants with both a broad orientation to the theoretical and practical issues involved in the use of narrative approaches and an opportunity to apply these approaches to their own research using smaller breakout groups and discussions. The students will learn how to develop and analyze the implications of the narrative and antenarrative theories. Additionally, students will be asked to critically examine the ways that scholars in the field have positioned narrative and story in various research contexts. The course provides an invitation for students to discuss their own research from various narrative and antenarrative perspectives and an opportunity to gain hands-on experience on the craft of doing narrative research.
