Evocative Autoethnography

This comprehensive text is the first to introduce evocative autoethnography as a methodology and a way of life in the human sciences.Written as the story of a fictional workshop, based on many similar sessions led by the authors, it incorporates group discussions, common questions, and workshop handouts.

I have been engaged, as a teacher and researcher, with autoethnography for over a decade.Reading this book has me wish that I had encountered it back at the start; perhaps I could havebypassed much of the confusion I experienced about issues such as paradigm wars, researchgenres, the place of the I in research inquiry and such like.David Mc Cormack, Maynooth University, British Journal of Guidance & Counselling
