Description:
Autoethnography is a qualitative research method that initially stemmed from ethnographic inquiry and aims to gain a deeper insight into the culture/broader phenomenon from the perspective of a researcher. As Ellis and colleagues (2011, p. 273) define “autoethnography is an approach to research and writing that seeks to describe and systematically analyze personal experience in order to understand cultural experience.” Therefore, “auto-ethnography as a method is different from other kinds of research due to a dual role of the researcher as an investigator and as the one being investigated” (Neyman, 2011, pp. 31–32). In autoethnographic inquiry, researcher’s memory, experiences, and reflections serve as data (Moss & Besio, 2019).
This session aims to bring together scholars who apply autoethnographic approach in their research and writing. The session is open to papers that cover a wide range of topics and contexts.
