begin chapter two with a discussion of the experiences that led me to narrative inquiry as the research methodology for my thesis. I continue by emphasize other research theories that inform my study - reflective practice, self-study and autoethnography. I conclude by stating detailed description of narrative inquiry as methodology and an explanation of how I decided to use this methodology in my study. How I came to narrative inquiry as methodology Deciding on a research methodology has in itself
understanding of the narrative and analytic autoethnography not only calls for a personal understanding of the text but also makes visible how the researcher’s memories combine with social science theories to construct interpretations of certain events. Van Mannen in his Tales of the Field (2011) has distinguished three forms of autoethnographic studies-realist; impressionist and confessionist.While
her dreamy half essay half-diary entry “On Keeping a Notebook”, Joan Didion weaves together stories, associations, reflections, and suggestions to reveal the personal value of using a diary or notebook.

through generational and aesthetic-methodological distancing, seeks to reveal memory’s limits, both individual and collective. In this mode, a lack of information about the hero figure’s death eclipses love bonds; it introduces an aesthetic and narrative distance that flattens affect. In Carri’s experience, when so little is known, when life is in such turmoil, it is difficult to speak from a place of emotion.

Critical Summary Cindy Cruz’s “Toward an epistemology of a brown body” addresses the absence of educational research regarding the “brown body” and sexual orientation of Latinx. Cruz discusses her experience as a lesbiana and not knowing there was a possibility that anyone else in her family shared her orientation. She reflects on her grandmother’s funeral and how she became aware of the “generations of queers” that surrounded her (Cruz 2001, 658). Knowledge of the brown body, Cruz claims, comes
