Description

Using the empowerment education framework (Freire, 1970) and transformative learning theory (Mezirow, 1978), we studied the lives of six Adventist Romanian women through narrative inquiry. The participants’ stories went through the process of data metamorphosis and data representation (Muccio, Reybold, & Kidd, 2015). Recur- rent metaphors and motifs are real world vs. desired world, emptiness vs. completeness, internal storm vs. external storm, transformation vs. stagnation.
