• Introduction: What is narrative research? (2008, background): “A recent articulation of the divisions within narrative research has taken the form of posing ‘small’ against ‘big’ stories (Bamberg, 2006; Freeman, 2006; Georgakopoulou, 2006).”
• TESOL, Teacher Identity, and the Need for “Small Story” Research (2011, background): “The problem with such accounts, critics pointed out, is that big story research ‘‘as a product of the reflective process [. . .] perpetuates an image of identity that is much ‘larger’, more continuous, and more stable than small stories would suggest’’ (Freeman, 2007, p. 159).”
