| Abstract: |
Drawing on a narrative inquiry with students in an English course entitled Girlhood, this paper explores the ways in which the experiences of teaching the course, and inquiring into two girls' experiences of the course, shaped the future practice of the teacher/author. Drawing on Hannah Arendt's writings on natality, we inquire into how the teacher's stories have shifted and changed over time and place, and how they reveal the uncertainty and possibility that exists in all new beginnings. Being reborn is a messy business, filled with unexpectedness as we untangle old and new identities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
