The Section for Health Sciences, University of Oslo and the Section for Nursing and Health Sciences, University of Tromsø have the pleasure to invite doctoral students and researchers to participate in a PhD course about narrative inquiry. The course will take place at Sommarøy, which is a beautiful island north of the Arctic Circle about an hour drive from the city of Tromsø.
Narratives play a significant role in how we perceive illness and health and present opportunities for patients as well as health care personnel to articulate self-understan-ding, insight, and experience. In what ways might narratives become truthful infor-mation for researchers? The PhD course offers possibilities to gain insights and discuss different ways of constructing and analyzing narratives. Ethical challenges related to narrative inquiry will also be a main topic.
The key-note speakers are: Dr. Arthur W. Frank. Professor, Department of Sociology, University of Calgary, CanadaDr. Marilys Guillemin. Associate Professor & Deputy Director, Centre for Health & Society, University of Melbourne, Australia
