Beginning and established scholars in biography, autobiography, autoethnography, and oral and life history will profit from Mulvihill and Swaminathans trans-disciplinary commentary and analysis of life writing. Ably contextualizing theory and generalizing practice, the authors offer experienced and well-reasoned guidance to those who want to write competently researched, readable, and honest narratives. The strategically positioned research journal and sketchbook exercises make the book a highly usable text for life writing courses. My only regret is that Critical Approaches to Life Writing Methods in Qualitative Research was not published fifty years earlier when I began my career as an historian and biographer of education.
Gerald L. Gutek, Professor Emeritus, Loyola University Chicago

Craig Kridel, E. S. Gambrell Professor of Educational Studies and Curator of the Museum of Education, University of South Carolina

Critical Approaches to Life Writing Methods in Qualitative Research
Life writing projects have become part of the expanding field of qualitative research methods in recent years and advances in critical approaches are reshaping methodological pathways. Critical Approaches to Life Writing Methods in Qualitative Research gives researchers and students looking for a brief compendium to guide their methodological thinking a concise and working overview of how to approach and carry out different forms of life writing.
This practical book re-invigorates the conversation about the possibilities and innovative directions qualitative researchers can take when engaged in various forms of life writing, such as biography, autobiography, autoethnography, life history, and oral history. It equips the reader with the tools to carry out life writing projects from start to finish, including choosing a topic or subject, examining lives as living data, understanding the role of documents and artifacts, learning to tell the story, and finally writing/performing/displaying through the voice of the life writer. The authors also address the ways a researcher can begin a project, work through the issues they might face along the journey, and arrive at a shareable product.
With its focus on the plurality of life writing methodologies, Critical Approaches to Life Writing Methods in Qualitative Research occupies a distinct place in qualitative research scholarship and offers practical exercises to guide the researcher. Examples include exploring authorial voice, practical applications of reflexivity exercises, the relationship between the narrator and participants, navigating the use of public and private archives, understanding the processes of collaborative inquiry and collaborative writing, and writing for various audiences.

Introduction and Overview
Qualitative researchers are storytellers. There are many ways to tell a story. Biographers, autobiographers, autoethnographers, life historians, and oral historians all engage in the process of storytelling through life writing. Our opening premise for this book is that storytelling matters; it matters to individuals, it matters to cultures and subcultures, and it matters to our individual and collective beings as we engage our imagination about past, present, and future human experiences. Critical approaches to all of these forms of life writing require certain preconditions for storytelling; namely, that the storyteller be mindful of the powerful agency vested in the meaning-making storyteller, who must also understand that they are a story-creator first before they are a storyteller. The motivations qualitative researchers have for creating stories, the tools life writers use, and the various containers and vessels they shape to hold and transport these stories are worthy of continued examination.
Life writing projects have evolved as part of the expanding field of qualitative research approaches and have benefitted from the methodological musings of many scholars, which we will selectively highlight throughout the book. This book will introduce and discuss the similarities and distinctions between biography, autobiography, auto-ethnography, life history, and oral history approaches to life writing, as well as the arguments surrounding the often artificial boundaries between fiction and non-fiction in social science representations of life stories. Examples from each will be used to illustrate the exciting work being done within each of these approaches and prepare the reader for the intellectual challenges and questions that life writing projects entail. We hope that as you contemplate your own life writing projects, you will find companionship within these pages and that you will revel in the possibilities for multiple pathways for creating and telling stories of lasting meaning using qualitative inquiry traditions, approaches, and tools.
