In the final chapter of this volume, the authors refer to the “pedagogical vantage points offered by narrative inquiry”, an apt comment that encapsulates the volume’s purpose and its spirit. As an increasing number of people throughout the world – and from a broad range of disciplines – are turning to narrative as a research methodology, this volume is timely in its focus on the learning and teaching of this approach. The contributors to the volume, all narrative scholars themselves, write about the creative and challenging pedagogical activities that they use in order to enable others to learn about and do narrative research. The volume will be of particular interest to those teaching narrative research methodologies at both undergraduate and postgraduate level in the social sciences, medical sciences and the humanities. The contributions from Hong Kong, Israel, Europe and North America, all reflect critically on the rich complexities of using and teaching narrative in those contexts and attend closely to the diverse constituencies of their learning communities.

在本卷的最后一章，作者提到了 "叙事探究所提供的教学优势"，这一恰当的评论概括了本卷的目的和精神。随着世界各地越来越多的人--以及来自不同学科的人--将叙事作为一种研究方法，本卷对这种方法的学习和教学的关注是及时的。本卷的作者都是叙事学家，他们写了一些创造性和挑战性的教学活动，以使其他人能够学习和进行叙事研究。那些在社会科学、医学和人文学科的本科生和研究生阶段教授叙事研究方法的人将会对本卷特别感兴趣。来自香港、以色列、欧洲和北美的文章，都批判性地反映了在这些背景下使用和教授叙事的丰富复杂性，并密切关注他们学习社区的不同群体。
