Translating Interviews, Translating Lives: Ethical Considerations in Cross-Language Narrative Inquiry (Report‪)‬

Introduction Born and raised in Shanghai, China, I moved to Edmonton as a landed immigrant in September 1998 and started graduate school in the Faculty of Education, University of Alberta. Previously I had taught English for almost 10 years in Tong Ji University and worked as an interpreter and translator at a Shanghai TV Station for two years. I obtained my Master of Education degree in June 2001 and my doctorate in June 2006. My master's work was a narrative inquiry (Clandinin&Connelly, 2000) into the transitional experiences of four Chinese international students as they moved from a Chinese high school to a Canadian high school and later to a Canadian university (Li, 2001). My doctoral dissertation, also a narrative inquiry, explored three Chinese international students' experiences of home and homelessness in Canada (Li, 2006).
