Pedagogy and Practice supports and generates new insights into how autoethnography can be taught, supervised and practised by sharing the experiences and reflections of researchers from a wide range of fields and disciplines.
An international cast of leading researchers provide practical examples of how autoethnography can be successfully introduced into health and human sciences curricula, showcasing examples of the power of autoethnography within and beyond academia. By privileging contributors’ experiences within their own field of study as students, teachers, supervisors and researchers, this book explores how autoethnography can be introduced, nurtured and sustained in challenging academic environments. Each chapter considers three interrelated areas: Disciplinary Contexts, which examines autoethnography’s impact across different fields; Relationships, which considers how to successfully manage relational and care dynamics from undergraduate through professor levels; and Ethics, which addresses the many ethical considerations that can arise across a wide range of contexts.
Pedagogy and Practice is a book that encourages readers to engage in autoethnographic practice to create innovative, dialogical and collaborative texts that push the boundaries of polyvocality and diversity within their own disciplines. It will be of interest to researchers in Psychology, Medicine, Pharmacology, Allied Health, Nursing, Mental health, Sport and Exercise Science, Coaching, Sociology, Psychotherapy, Theatre Studies and Communication Studies.

There are few good books about pedagogy and autoethnography and fewer good books about interdisciplinarity and autoethnography. This bookthis great bookis 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
