A Collective Biography: Women Macro Social Work Academics

Résumé du livre

In 2012, we tested a qualitative research method, collective biography, which was new to us. In this case study, we make distinctions between prosopography, biography, autobiography, auto/biography, and collective biography in order to clarify our research focus. We then delineate our original intent following the collective biography method described by Bronwyn Davies and Susanne Gannon. We follow this with a discussion of our actual implementation giving attention to what was hoped for and finally enacted by 12 women macro social work academics.
