• Presents and defines a new method termed "narrative ethnography:" Incorporating naturalistic, constructionist, and ethnomethodological impulses, the approach and related methods focus on the everyday narrative activity that unfolds in social interaction, bringing with it an acute awareness of the myriad layers of social context that condition narrative production.

• Offers students a view of the combination of epistemological, methodological, procedural, and analytic sensibilities that must be brought to bear to understand narrativity-in-context and the greater practice of qualitative research in general.

• Provides four types of demonstrations and illustrations: 1) conceptually-informed empirical material from our own published and unpublished research on narrative practice; 2) related material borrowed from others’ research; 3) narratives drawn directly from the media and other everyday sources; and 4) imagined narrative scenes that help shed light on how one might proceed to think about and empirically ground work in the area.
