“…An extra tool was used during the interviews: the drawing of a lifeline. The lifeline is a narrative technique for marking and validating life events as a starting point from which to explore the meaning of experiences (for example see Hanks and Carr 2008). Asking participants to draw or fill in a visual, chronological representation of their life (for instance using life lines, life grids or calendars) can help the respondent to recall events from the past and help the interviewer to ask the appropriate questions (e.g.…”

This study explores the way minority ethnic youth in the Netherlands evaluate their sexual experiences, how they frame these experiences in different sexual discourses and how they deal with conflicts between different sexual discourses, both at home and in Dutch society. During 46 narrative interviews, Dutch young people (aged 12-22 years) from different minority ethnic communities shared their sexual histories and their dreams for the future relating to love and sexuality. Different sexual discourses can be identified in the language they used to describe their ideas and their experiences. Young people grow up with a variety of discourses but actively re-shape them according to circumstances and need. In many cases, young people experience a conflict between the discourses of the home and those that are prevalent more generally in Dutch society. Young people's ways of negotiating these contradictory discourses comprise four main strategies: (1) conforming to parents' values, (2) breaking up with parents, (3) leading a double life and (4) integrating competing discourses. By bringing together different sexual discourses and acknowledging diverse strategies, sexual health policies can become more effective in promoting sexual health for minority ethnic youth. Findings from the study add fuel to debate on understanding (sexual) agency among young people, exhibiting the social 'embeddedness' of individual agency.

“…Similar to more elaborated instruments such as event history calendars and life grids, lifelines, or timelines, serve to enhance participant recall of the timing of past events (Van der Waart 2004), and are often used alongside qualitative interviews (see e.g. Hanks and Carr 2008). In our study, reflexive data on 'turning points' and peoples' perceptions of their life trajectories were added to the lifelines of those who took part in the second, photo-elicitation phase.…”

“…I denne studien falt valget på en intervjuform som vi fant lite beskrevet i metodelitteraturen, men best eksemplifisert i artiklene Portraits of Life: Patterns of Events Over the Lifespan (Schroots & Assink, 2005) og Lifelines of Women in Jail as Self-Constructed Visual Probes for Life History Research (Hanks & Carr, 2008). Metoden er kalt Livslinje-metode (LIM), og ble tilpasset vårt prosjekt.…”

“…Dette var også bakgrunnen for at vi valgte denne metoden, at vi ønsket å få ett mer helhetlig innblikk i jentenes livshistorie. Livslinje som intervjumetode er blitt brukt med flere hensikter tidligere, blant annet for å oppmuntre informantene til å se hendelser i livet deres som en del av deres historie og for å markere vendepunkter i livet og skape mening av disse vendepunktene (Hanks & Carr, 2008).…”

In this article we explore the school history of girls who are dropping out from upper secondary school, recorded with mental problems. The study has a qualitative, exploratory design with an inductive approach. Interviews were conducted with life-line method, with some supplemental questions. Most of the girls experience weak relations to both school-peers and teachers in primary school. Some of them are bullied and describe a school without capability to deal with the problems and work for an including school environment. When they reach upper secondary school they have a high absence rate and most of them are requested to terminate school, partly due to the risk of losing part of their statutory right to upper education. The findings are discussed in resilience- and bio-ecological perspectives.
