    Human beings rely equally on narrative (or storytelling) and metaphor (or analogy) for making sense of the world. Narrative and Metaphor in Education integrates the two perspectives of narrative and metaphor in educational theory and practice at every level from pre-school to lifelong civic education. Bringing together outstanding educational researchers, the book interweaves for the first time the rich strand of current research about how narrative may be used productively in education with more fragmentary research on the role of metaphor in education and invites readers to ‘look both ways.’



    The book consists of research by 40 academics from many countries and disciplines, describing and analysing the intricate connections between narrative and metaphor as they manifest themselves in many fields of education, including: concepts of education, teacher identity and reflective practice, teaching across cultures, teaching science and history, using digital and visual media in teaching, fostering reconciliation in a postcolonial context, special needs education, civic and social education and educational policy-making. It is unique in combining study of the narrative perspective and the metaphor perspective, and in exploring such a comprehensive range of topics in education.



    Narrative and Metaphor in Education will be of great interest to academics and researchers in the fields of education and educational policy, as well as teacher educators, practising and future teachers. It will also appeal to psychologists, sociologists, applied linguists and communications specialists.

    "This book is a valuable contribution to the use of narrative and metaphor in educational studies. The essays are original and exhibit an impressive range in both theory and practice at every level from pre-school to lifelong civic learning."

    Martin Kreiswirth, Professor of English, McGill University.

    "Narrative and Metaphor in Education provides a fascinating overview ofthe many facets of the metaphor-narrative interface in educational contexts, covering as it does the interdisciplinary themes of understanding, creating identity, framing, and envisaging other realities. Its contributions demonstrate the interdependence of metaphor and narrative and their key-role in both learning and teaching processes, intercultural communication and educational policy as well as in teacher and counsellor training and in the self-monitoring of educators. Together, its chapters provide a stimulating insight into a buoyant field of educational research, theory-building and professional practice."
