Table of ContentsReviewsThis volume opens up multiple dynamics of self-study for re-view and re-cognition. Contributors interrogate the self, collaboration, ethics, and learning in unfolding, dynamic, and interconnected ways. Readers will especially appreciate the different re-turns to self and social action that the volume offers. (Nancy Lesko, Maxine Greene Professor, Teachers College, Columbia University) 'Making Connections: Self-Study & Social Action' is a 'must-read' for everyone who wonders about the value of self-study research to the important social and educational issues of our times. Through a series of engaging chapters representing a broad range of methods and contexts, the authors invite us to compare our situations and theirs, illustrating in the process how we are all connected and how valuable trans-national dialogue can be to our research. Individually and collectively, the chapters point toward the many implications self-study can have for social policy, political action, and educational reform. Self-study will never seem 'merely personal' again.
