This book contains a series of autoethnographies written by participants of a program on qualitative methods. It offers the stories of students-turned-professors and what they learned via autoethnographic writing as part of the course. The chapters provide insight into the application of a range of qualitative research techniques and, unlike typical works on qualitative methods, in a nonprescriptive method that reflects a personal learning process.
This book will be of interest to students and academics engaged in qualitative research, as well as scholars of transformative learning, teaching pedagogy and broader educational studies.
