Abstract

Social sciences are focused on humans and their relationships with themselves, their community and their environment (Clandinin & Connelly, 1994). It is essential to include the participants’ voices as well as a study of the text, field observations and an account of the research. As a researcher, one is not only observing the participants, but in a reflexive way, also observing the interaction between these actors, and one’s own reactions. In this chapter, our reflections as researchers and the narratives are additional voices.
