Abstract

This paper explores familial and school curriculum-making worlds as conceptualized by Huber, Murphy, & Clandinin (2011).  Through inquiry into the experiences of Donovan, an aboriginal youth from an earlier narrative inquiry, this paper explores his multiple worlds of curriculum making that he composes alongside his family and community.  It is through inquiry into Donovan’s multiple worlds of curriculum making that his life-making experiences become more animate and visible, thereby creating possibilities to further understand curriculum-making worlds, both in and outside of school places.
