Michael<\/span> was a student of sociolinguist\/anthropologist Robert B. LePage (York), John Gumperz (Berkeley), and Shirley Brice Heath (Stanford), and completed his PhD in Psychology (\u2018Narrative Development<\/i>\u2019) under the mentorship of Elinor Rosch, Susan Ervin-Tripp, and Dan Slobin (all Berkeley, Psychology). His interest in Qualitative Inquiry originated during his Assistant Professorship in the Sociology Department (1981-85) under the leadership of Martin Kohli (FU Berlin), and from there developed into a lifelong devotion, extending into the scholarship for which he became known. Since 1986, he has taught Psychology at Clark University (Adjunct: English), where he developed \u2018Qualitative Inquiry,\u2019 a required course for undergraduate majors in Psychology. This course is featured in YouTube lectures leading to his recruitment for the APA Task Force on Qualitative Research<\/i> for the new edition of the APA Publication Manual <\/i>(2019), which, for the first time, includes guidelines for the reporting of qualitative methods in psychology and epistemological perspectives on research reporting.<\/p>\n Michael<\/span> has been an important figure in promoting a series of different genres of applied linguistic, narrative, and identity research. From his dissertation work on the acquisition of narratives (1987), through positioning theory<\/i> (1997a, 2003) and analysis of narratives (2011b, 2012), to identity construction in talk-in-interaction (2011b, 2011c; Bamberg<\/span>, De Fina & Schiffrin, 2011; Bamberg<\/span> & Georgakopoulou, 2008), he has contributed varied strands to psychology, applied linguistics and identity theory (2011; De Fina, Schiffrin & Bamberg<\/span>, 2006; Bamberg<\/span>, De Fina, & Schiffrin, 2007, 2011). He is the founding editor of the journal Narrative Inquiry<\/i>, through which he has supported and encouraged theorizing and researching narrative from differing perspectives for more than 25 years. In addition, he also served as the series editor of Studies in Narrative<\/i>, consisting of a series of books at the cutting edge of narrative research. Over the summer of 2021, together with Carolin Demuth (Aalborg) and Meike Watzlawick (Berlin), he finished the edition of the Cambridge Handbook of Identity<\/i> (CUP, 2021). After serving his home institution recently as Associate Dean of the College <\/i>& Director of the Center for Enhancement of Teaching & Learning<\/i>, he secured a Fulbright as Distinguished Chair in Humanities and Social Sciences<\/i> at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan and subsequently served as President<\/i> of the Society for Qualitative Inquiry in Psychology<\/i> (APA-Division 5). In 2021, Michael<\/span> took on a four-year term as director of the Henry & Erna Leir Luxembourg Program, <\/i>and for the spring of 2026, Michael <\/span>is looking forward to his second term as a Fulbright scholar with residence in Poznan, Poland, from where he intends to extend his stay in Europe over the summer and fall of 2026.<\/p>\n Vimeo + YouTube Presentations on Narrative, Identity, and Narrative Research<\/i><\/b> -The National Academies: Understanding Narratives for National Security Purposes<\/i>; Panel 1<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a> <\/i><\/b>(DC, Jan 2018) -The National Academies: Understanding Narratives for National Security Purposes<\/i>; Panel 4<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a> <\/i><\/b>(DC, Jan 2018) \u2013 Thirteen short talks on the topic of <\/i><\/b>innovative learning<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a> <\/i><\/b>(YouTube) \u2013 Commentary on WHO AM I – Narration and its Contribution to Self and Identity <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a>(YouTube) <\/p>\n Return Home<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dr. Michael Bamberg Sept 24-26 – Lodz, PILL July 8-10 – Lyon, EQuiP June 25-26 – Vilnius, ISRI June 15-17 – Paris, M Freeman Gathering June 8-12 – Brooklyn, ISTP … Continue reading “Home”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":287,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-21","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.clarku.edu\/mbamberg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.clarku.edu\/mbamberg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.clarku.edu\/mbamberg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.clarku.edu\/mbamberg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/287"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.clarku.edu\/mbamberg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.clarku.edu\/mbamberg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.clarku.edu\/mbamberg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Recent Awards\/Accomplishments: <\/b><\/span>\r\n\r\n\u25cf 2026 - Distinguished Fulbright Scholar in Humanities and Social Sciences @ AMU, Poland \r\n\u25cf 2024 - Keynote, EQUIP Conference, Milan\r\n\u25cf 2021 - 2024 - Director of Leir Luxembourg Program\r\n\u25cf 2022 - President of SQIP - APA Division 5\r\n\u25cf 2020 - Fulbright Distinguished Chair in Humanities and Social Sciences<\/i> at the Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan\r\n\u25cf 2015 - Clark University Admissions \u201cHero Award<\/i>\u201d -2015 - Lee Gurel\/John E.
