Overview

This volume is a call for integrity in autoethnographic research. Stephen Andrew weaves together philosophy, critical theory, and extended self-reflections to demonstrate how and why qualitative researchers should assess the ethical quality of their work. He also offers practical tools designed to limit the likelihood of self-indulgence and solipsism in first-person writing. Equally instructive and exemplary, his work: Is written in a relatable style that draws readers in and encourages them to think critically about the implications and effects of their writing. Examines the history of qualitative and autoethnographic research. Provides implementable strategies for textualizing lived experiences and relationships with others.

Reviews

The book concludes with an invitation for others to join the journey, suggesting the utility of this ethical approach outside autoethnography-for teachers, journalists, biographers and memoirists. Andrew's approach to ethics could benefit anyone conducting social science research and has practical applications for novice and seasoned researchers. As a novice qualitative researcher, I appreciate a text devoted to the how to of autoethnographic ethics...although this book is much more than that, as most pursuits usually are. --Janie Copple is a first-year doctoral student in the Qualitative Research and Evaluation Methodologies program at the University of Georgia. Searching for an Autoethnographic Ethic is accessible for novice researchers and provides useful, practical advice and techniques to better understand the ethical issues that confront us all. --ROSE RICHARDS, Stellenbosch University, South Africa

This book chronicles a series of personal, and at times unsettling experiences that have shaped his autobiographical journey and his pursuit towards autoethnographic ethics, realizing along the way that these were always, in parts, pieces of the same puzzle. --Janie Copple, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, USA
