Autoethnography Pedagogy and Practice

“There are few good books about pedagogy and autoethnography and fewer good books about interdisciplinarity and autoethnography. This book—this great book—is about both: about how teaching, supervising, researching, mentoring, and learning happen, and about the possibilities that come from joining together, collaborating with students and colleagues from a variety of disciplines to explore social life and alleviate social ills. A wonderful collection about research methods and practices, and an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the ways our experiences inform the work we do and the lives we (hope to) live.” -- Tony Adams, Caterpillar Professor and Chair, Bradley University, USA “You know when Kitrina and David collaborate together, good things are bound to happen. Come, make yourself comfortable as you experience these inspiring scholars and their students and colleagues teaching, learning, and writing about autoethnography. Take the steaming peppermint tea in the blue pottery mug that Kitrina extends to you; if you’re lucky, David will pick his guitar and sing in harmony with Kitrina. Meet the forty-two coauthors from around the world and breathe in their intimate collaborative research and writing experiences, stories, poems, and conversations. Feel the loving and caring community we can create by virtually joining hands with these interdisciplinary authors who reach out from multiple perspectives around the globe. For that is what good autoethnography does.” -- Carolyn Ellis, Distinguished University Professor Emerita, University of South Florida, USA
