Studying the Family

Smith, Laura Mazzoli; Campbell, Jim

Methodology

Smith, Laura Mazzoli; Campbell, Jim

Pages: 43 –59

Interpreting The Families’ Narratives

Smith, Laura Mazzoli; Campbell, Jim

Towards Cultural Relativism and Interdisciplinarity in Researching Giftedness

Smith, Laura Mazzoli; Campbell, Jim

Pages: 159 –166

[The research reported in this book was small in scale but relatively rich in depth, attempting to capture constructions of giftedness as told in the narratives of four families. This meant that the evidence we collected looks very different from that conventionally reported in research into...
