- Researching Self as a Cultural Participant: Autoethnography

Catalog description

Autoethnography as a methodology and a form of writing involves turning the "researcher's lens onto self." In this course we will read and discuss numerous autoethnographic examples, intrapersonal/interpersonal communication concepts, cultural studies theories and ethnographic methods so that you can conduct and write an autoethnography about your own social/political location. This course will require you to dig deep and explore your own lived experiences in the interest of developing insight into relevant cultural ideologies and practices.
