Increasingly, qualitative researchers are exploring non-traditional methods to generate greater understandings of the complex ways that life is embedded within social norms and everyday experience. Collective Memory Work (CMW) entails participant-focused examination of concrete experiences revealing the social construction of knowledge. To execute this examination, participants write the story of individual memories around a common topic, which are then discussed in a focus group format.

Edited by a leading scholar in the field, this book covers the historical background of CMW as a methodology and its place within the wider context of qualitative research methods. It shows key features of the methodology with particular attention to current social issues, and is grounded in the case studies that show the practical application of CMW in research.
