Autorenporträt

I like to laugh. I like witty people. When I'm not with my horses, I in my garden, in the kitchen cooking, or sharing good times with family and friends. I'm Dr. Jane Gilgun, a professor emerita in the School of Social Work at the University of Minnesota, USA, where I was a professor from 1984 to 2021.

I have published a lot and am an international leader in the development of qualitative social work research methods. I have served as president of the International Society for Qualitative Inquiry and chair of Social Work Day for the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry for 12 years.

My long-term research was on the meanings of violence to perpetrators, the development of violent behaviors, and how persons overcome adversities. I was the principal investigator for 22 research projects conducted with community partners, focusing on factors associated with good outcomes for children and families.

My research draws upon the work of Jane Addams and John Dewey and is based on a pragmatist philosophy of science that takes into account persons and situation, lived experience, meanings and interpretations, researcher reflexivity, and research to be used for the common good. My research has an explicit value base of justice, care, dignity and worth, and respect for autonomy/self-determination.

Many of my articles and books are available on the internet for free or low cost. I write books on many other topics based on research I have done for many years. I also comment on public events.
