This paper considers the re-emergence and development of life history/ biographical research methods across the social sciences, including the impact of feminist ideas. Particular reference is made to the study of adult learning and of processes of constructing and reconstructing biographies in changing times, and when moving between different cultures. It provides examples of the unique contribution such methods can make to illuminating the complexities of human experience. And it challenges positivistic criteria of validity as well as the absence of the researcher's story from conventional research texts. The paper also examines ethical questions raised by such research but which in fact apply to all research.
