FQS-Newsletter September 2003

Dear All,

The 13th issue of the on-line journal FQS is now available at http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs-e/inhalt3-03-e.htm. "Doing Biographical Research" is edited by Gerhard Riemann and deals with the life story of Huelya, a female labor migrant from Turkey. As Robert Faux—an American colleague who accompanied the publishing process—points out, "in this issue of FQS scholars from Japan, Poland, and Germany share with us ... their interpretations of Huelya’s narrative interview. With Huelya’s interview as the sole focus of interpretation by these scholars we have before us a manifestation of the richness and depth of qualitative research ... It is hoped that the contributions to this issue will reveal to readers what insights and understanding can be gained from other cultures, academic and others." And it is hoped that you—the readers of FQS—contribute your own pieces of analysis or your comments on the papers by offering your interpretations of Hülya's narrative!

As always, in addition to articles, linked directly to the topic, you will find selected single contributions, review essays and notes and two conference reports.

We wish hopefully stimulating readings and discussions!
