Abstract	In this paper I present a narrative approach to environmental education research. This approach evolved through a dynamic interplay between research questions, theory, experience, conversation, and reflection. I situate the approach with respect to narrative inquiry and clarify the key conceptual metaphors underpinning my study, including "story," "narrative," and "metaphor." I then discuss the particular methods involved and their compatibility with my underlying ontological and epistemological assumptions about the storied reality of human experience. Finally, I reflect on writing as part of the research process and on the possibilities and responsibilities inherent in the act of writing. (Contains 3 notes.) (As Provided).
