Reflexivity in a longitudinal narrative inquiry: in pursuit of clarity of interpretations

Abstract: Explicating interview approaches is significant for education research in understanding how the nuances of meaning from personal narratives uncover challenges and opportunities for investigating the lived experience across contexts.
