Who It’s For: Those interested in an example of the style and first-person account of engaging in the process.
Why We Love It: The first paper is excellent as a summary of the literature about autoethnography, while illustrating the method. The second is a thoughtful account of the actual experience. Both are great if you have decided to write an autoethnography and want a bit of a guide to get you started.
