'This paper describes the use of reflective biographical narrative, in
postgraduate research supervision, in helping students develop their sense of place - an
intellectual place - within the scholarly landscape. The example provided centres on the
work of students who have found an intellectual home in cultural geography. Using
planned and semi-formal conversation, a device emerging from the authors' supervisory
practices, this activity draws on the emerging tradition of reflective biographical
narrative, in which biographical reflection is not merely reflection on knowledge, but a
practical methodological approach to working with knowledge. We conclude that our
approach provided positive learning outcomes for the students, all of who were better
able to frame their research, using reflective biographical narrative, within a conscious
sense of scholarly place, and to adopt such reflection as a key analytical tool in their
respective research projects.' (Authors abstract)
