{"product_id":"9781433124839","title":"How Stories Heal: Writing Our Way to Meaning and Wholeness in the Academy","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is time for academics to embrace the fact that nothing is more appealing to readers – especially to our students – than personal stories with meaning-making implications that can touch all lives. No matter the age or stage in life, the personal or collective identity, everyone deals with meaning-making issues that challenge them – and others – throughout their lifetimes. And everyone we know finds that when encouraged to write their stories in the academy, they find meaning, wholeness, and healing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eHow Stories Heal\u003c\/i\u003e illustrates the value of personal narrative writing. Referring to this type of writing as the «turn to the subjective I» or to «me-search research», this is a book about Scholarly Personal Narrative (SPN) writing, actually written in an SPN style. This book will satisfy a huge need in higher education and scholarship, particularly for students who are writing undergraduate and graduate theses and doctoral dissertations; and also for junior and senior faculty who are looking to construct alternative forms of scholarship for publication.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Publishing Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47029373763824,"sku":"9781433124839","price":159.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781433124839_p0.jpg?v=1763751531","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781433124839","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
