ABSTRACT

This chapter investigates the feedback session to participants of an earlier education case conference and the attempt to share a discourse analytic understanding of that conference with its participants. 1 The first section describes the purpose of education case conferences and why the discourse analysis project was set up. The second section discusses the motivation for feeding back the analysis and the issues this raises for those interested in empirical and critical discourse research. The third section examines the fruits of this enterprise, assessing the specific advantges and disadvantages of sharing discourse analysis with the participants of the research.
