Narrative Inquiry" is about this method of research and what narritivie inquierers do. Clandinin and Connelly discuss the three dimensional inquiry space. "We earlier created a metaphor of a three-dimensional space, in which narrative inquirers would find themselves, using a set of terms that pointed them backward and forward, inward and outward, and located them in place. We saw these dimensions as directions or avenues to be pursued in a narrative inquiry. " (Clandinin & Connelly).
This is when a researcher like Ming Fang and Micheal become involved in the history and culture of a project. Ming Fang's research was conducted by experience and her conclusion was based on this. "It was out of this duster of experiences and considerations that she articulated her thesis proposal, which she ultimately conceptualized in her completed dissertation abstract as "a study ofidentity formation and cuLtural transformation of three Chinese women teachers as they moved back and forth between Chinese an4 Canadiancultures" " (Clandinin & Connelly). The emersion in the cultures is what formed her research topic and thesis and the data collected surronded her. The research that she conducted is based on her personal experience of culture shock and the data is shown through narritive. "Throughout her narrative inquiry, she remains in her Canadian place while traveling back in time and place, in memory, to a China that no longer exists. The three-dimensional space in which her research is situated creates an ongoing sense of dislocation as she moves from a remembered past in one place to a present moment in another, all the while imaginatively constructing an identity for the future. " (Clandinin & Connelly).
The three dimension is the emersion in the places of interest an the experiences that are accuiered while there.
