Ups and downs of teaching the biographical approach.

- Abstract
Being a scholar and researcher teaching and using the biographical approach I have gained not only professional experience but also lots of doubts which I will present in this paper. After my introductory remarks I will begin by introducing the biographical approach as a specific perspective of analyzing social reality. Then I will discuss a stereotypical image of biographical research and try to contrast it with the perspective of a scholar who uses the biographical approach. This reflection is accompanied by references to my teaching attempts and experiences. In the last section I will point out some difficulties and problems related to the teaching process. I pose questions to reflect on the issue, though I dare not to give final answers.
