Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Genealogy is now accepting submissions for a Special Issue on the topic, “Writing Genealogy: Auto/Biographical research, Autoethnography and Narrative Inquiry.”
Broadly conceived, the editorial team is interested in articles which examine the research methods that underpin the writing of genealogy, family histoies, reminiscence, and memoir. We also invite scholars to examine the ways in which genealogical histories are crafted and contextualized within the complexity of social and family relationships, class, gender, race and ethnicity, or nation. Authors are also encouraged to reflect on how they have articulated the wider process of text-making, narrating meaning, and analysing themes when writing genealogy.
This issue also invites essays from scholars who are researching and writing genealogy where there may have been genealogical disruptions, such as those experienced by refugee background families.
Papers are invited from any relevant disciplinary backgrounds, addressing but not limited to research methods, analysis/reflection, and crafting techniques employed for writing genealogy, including but not limited to:
Biographical research
Collective biographical research
Autobiographical research
Critical autoethnographic/autoethnographic research
