Abstract

This workshop provides an introduction to autoethnography as a means of writing and crafting self and culture. Autoethnography is a powerful methodological approach which combines autobiography and ethnography to explore personal experiences within broader social and cultural contexts. This workshop serves as an introduction to the history, practice and application of autoethnography, and the key scholars working in this area. It invites participants to engage deeply with their own lived experiences while critically examining the intersections of self and society.  We explore different types of autoethnography including evocative, analytic, critical, performative, and collaborative. Participants will develop the skills necessary to begin their own autoethnographic inquiries, producing meaningful narratives that contribute to personal growth and scholarly inquiry.
