Grace O' Grady, Jacqueline O'Toole, D. Jean Clandinin: Engaging in Educational Narrative Inquiry: Making Visible Alternative Knowledge. This Special Issue on Narrative Inquiry has its origins in a series of conferences convened by Dr Grace O’ Grady, Maynooth University, Dr Jacqueline O’ Toole, Institute of Technology, Sligo and Dr Anne Byrne, National University of Ireland, Galway. All three had been engaged with narrative ideas in their respective research but recognised that a wider forum was needed to discuss, debate and disseminate narrative studies in a broader context. Included in this Special Issue are internationally renowned scholars, Professors Maria Tamboukou and D. Jean Clandinin, both of whom delivered keynote addresses at the conferences. Locating itself in a critical paradigm, the articles in this issue explore how unquestioned, taken-for-granted ideas can dominate the production of knowledge in multiple social/educational contexts and how narrative methods enable silenced knowledge to be articulated. Articles draw on research across all sectors of education from early childhood through to post-primary and higher education; studies that disrupt common understandings, perceptions and practices.
