Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume conceptualizes and distinguishes storying from narrative and storytelling to establish itself as a method. It theorizes that storying pertains to ones’ identity, to the unique positions of who one is, how they came to be, and why they came to be (Raj, 2019). Building upon foundational work from Freire, Greene, and Clandinin & Connelly, this book elucidates storying through a new concept “emotional truth”--a deeply personal and authentic experience that builds a tangible connection from teller to listener. Such an involved conception of Storying could have the potential to anchor storying as research methodology and as valid pedagogical practice. Further, the chapters in this book establish storying as a concept, method, and as pedagogical practice.
