Searching for an Autoethnographic Ethic

"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."

"Stephen Andrew weaves vulnerably written, self-narrative prose and poetry into a guided framework for novice and seasoned autoethnographers on ways to methodically approach ethics. 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."
