"Currere" as Transformative Story Telling in Religious Education
Kissel-Ito, Cindy
Religious Education, v103 n3 p339-350 May 2008
This article examines "currere" (a method for autobiographical reflection proposed by William Pinar) as a helpful framework for reflecting on religious educational experiences from a subjective and narrative perspective. The author suggests that this process is important for contemporary religious education as it provokes reflection on the relationships between academic knowledge, a person's life of faith, and the ways these overlap with church and society. Using thick description as a form of story telling, the author models this method as a practice of critical analysis that provides transformative insights for theory and practice in religious education.
