Interpretive Narrative Inquiry/Evidence
Method evidence record

Interpretive Narrative Inquiry

Interpretive narrative inquiry is a qualitative approach that treats human stories as the primary site of meaning-making and knowledge production. Drawing on Connelly and Clandinin's foundational framework and grounded in hermeneutic philosophy, it uses in-depth narrative interviews, field texts, and relational engagement to understand how individuals construct identity, experience, and sense of the world through the stories they tell and live.
