A key issue for researchers is how to organize, analyze, display and report qualitative data in ways that are rigorous, meaningful and contribute to the field. Of course, there are many ways to do this. This workshop is designed for those who want to understand what makes a narrative approach distinct as a qualitative approach. In the session, I describe a process I often use, explaining my rationales which are premised in a narrative methodology.
