Naming Silenced Lives: Personal Narratives and the Process of Educational Change

Naming Silenced Lives presents a series of autobiographical histories which demonstrate how educational organizations often marginalize and silence different groups. Each chapter examines the way in which a specific group has been silenced by various educational arrangements, considers the import of using autobiographies and other narrative methods to alter individuals’ received circumstances and describes how this naming of silenced lives and relationships to educational institutions has proposed change.
