Re-membering meaning in the spaces

Abstract

Through stories of elementary school children she sees as a counsellor and the tensions existing in those stories, the writer enters into an examination of stories from her own life. The main question the author attempts to explore is the importance of narrative and story in her own life and how they function as a site for resistance, reflection, interpretation and meaning making. The writing itself is the process as the author attempts a qualitative, phenomenological inquiry into her own complicity in maintaining existing structures of class, race, gender, morality and education.
