Research Methods (my preliminary ideas)

I'm back into my study cave today and I am currently looking at the methods I might use for my upcoming research project. There are a number of methods that appeal to me in theory and today I am delving in a bit more to figure out which of these might be more useful/purposeful for me and this study.

* Autoethnographic research

* Case Study

* Phenomenology

* Narrative research

* Grounded Theory

Perhaps the method that sits with me is that of Narrative Research as it relates very much to the topic that I want to cover, I want to hear peoples stories/perspectives about listening.

Narrative Research

So what kind of research questions is narrative research appropriate for?

Well, I think it's particularly useful for looking at phenomena where you're trying to find out about things that are quite new, unknown, perhaps not spoken about very fully difficult sometimes to speak about.
