Reviews

A crisp, clear, and pragmatic orientation to narrative research in psychology. Every student beginning narrative research should have this book firmly in hand. An excellent introduction that explains why narrative is so critical to the future of psychological research. -- Brian Schiff, PhD, author of A New Narrative for Psychology, American University of Paris, Paris, France Using clear examples and easy to grasp language, the authors demonstrate narrative analysis methods and also ask researchers to think in new ways. They demonstrate how to balance the small details of a person’s life with attention to the bigger picture—the person as they exist in history, social locations, and inequality. Psychologists across many fields can learn from this guidebook how to study people in context. -- Sara McClelland, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychology and Women’s & Gender Studies, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, United States

Among his widely cited work is the 2008 paper “Narrative and the Cultural Psychology of Identity,” published in Personality and Social Psychology Review, and the 2011 book Narrative and the Politics of Identity, published by Oxford University Press. Dr. Hammack is also editor of The Oxford Handbook of Social Psychology and Social Justice (2018) and of the Oxford University Press Series on Sexuality, Identity, and Society.
