Dear Jodie
Thank you i really feel encouraged about using new methodologies
It has not been difficult to find people to share stories in general - however i am aware that people through my own research that some have not wanted to participate- it is a challenge that narrative researchers face and must be problematised- alternatives include writing e.g biographies etc
looking at pathological over dimensions has been our fascination and somehow the issues of pain grief etc - because they are not overt are convenient to dismiss and pretend that they dont exist - our traditional research methods are suited to those which priveledge the dimensions of what we can see- there is a whole lot more that makes up living with stuttering - hence the need for new methodologies.
I would really like you to interrogate for yourself "WHy you never thought of it like that until you read the words"- it is the same questioning i have done for myself when i read the words - please share that response with me - if you feel up to it
regards harsha
