THe ESERA SIG9  is launching a new webinar on Timeline Interviews: A tool for historical research in science education by Maiza Trigo from the University of Luxembourg. This workshop aims to explore the use of timeline interviews as a qualitative tool for historical research. Timeline interviews facilitate looking back in time while foregrounding pivotal moments, enabling researchers to reconstruct a timeline of critical historical episodes and reflecting upon events that have shaped the study object/subject. We’ll showcase the use of timeline interviews in the identification of key events of organizational learning within a science education resource center, and we’ll experiment with this type of interview to retrace each other’s own history. The workshop will present this methodological approach, illustrate its application, and invite participants to explore timeline interviews that can reveal events that enable research through historical reconstruction, based on Adriansen (2012) perspective that timeline interviews can be used for life history research.  Get ready for the workshop! Come to the workshop having read the following paper: Adriansen, H.K. (2012). Timeline interviews: A tool for conducting life history research. Qualitative Studies, 3(1): 40-55.
