Christine’s PhD study used autoethnography, a critically reflexive methodology, which has directly enriched her expertise in the research methods module and the reflective writing elements of the MA Education and the MA Educational Enquiry and Professional Learning programmes. The title of her thesis was ‘An auto-ethnographic account of interactional practices in Adoptive family relationships’.  The universal significance of giving voice to stories in connecting the personal to the cultural has subsequently led Christine to the creation of a cross faculty Narrative Research Network, providing encouragement and support for colleagues involved in narrative research.
