Abstract
The section of Part 1 of the Editorial called Arguing for autobiographical reflection and data set out an argument for the use of the sociological imagination where the emphasis is not placed on an aggregated view but on the individual voice. This voice speaks openly of its experience in the situation under examination, in this case, in the educational institution attached to some form of religious tradition. The second part of the Editorial picks up these points made earlier about the qualitative approach and clears the ground, methodologically speaking, for the range of voices in a variety of contexts and autobiographic narratives expressed in the symposium that is Part B. The voices do not speak of unthinking acceptance, of the closed mind and future: their common characteristic is questioning. It is this process that we now examine in itself.
