Abstract | My Doctor of Philosophy study (Midgley, 2011) was about the experiences of Saudi students at an Australian university. The data for this study were drawn from a series of narrative discussion groups (Midgley, 2013) in which I asked Saudi participants to tell me about their experiences as international students at an Australian university. As there were no pre-determined questions for these narrative discussion groups, the Saudi participants were able to select which experiences they wished to discuss in the context of this research project. Over the course of the study, I came to see and hear about things that the Saudi students had experienced, but which they chose not to discuss in the narrative discussion groups. On several instances, I came to know about these things because the participants themselves told me, as a friend, outside the context of the narrative discussion groups. On one other occasion, I was a witness to the event myself. |
