Abstract Details

2016, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, EDU Teaching and Learning.
This dissertation explores the narratives of groups of women and demonstrates how those narratives convey the participants’ desires and contributions to the world and the people in it. Critical literacy, narrative inquiry and complementary theories provide a backdrop for this inquiry and discussion through themes of women and community, sentience, agency and transformation as illustrated and informed by the narratives from the participants’ individual and focus group interviews. This work is grounded in the understanding that humanity is not finished nor is it humane at this point in its history but offers viable possibilities through the narratives in this study that may prompt individuals to action, to affect change, to touch the lives of others, to join together and to seek to improve the human condition.
