A remarkable collection of autobiographical accounts
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book does something new. It presents 11 autobiographical chapters by prominent female educational researchers, who write about the role of educational research in their lives, and the ways in which their lives have influenced the research that they do. The accounts are moving, and reveal much of the "backstage" of the academic life. And although each author's voice is distinctive, the editors treat the chapters as "data", looking across them to show how readers can learn from the accounts. This analytic edge, and the personal nature of the accounts, distinguishes this volume from other collections of academic autobiographies. It's a wonderful book.
