Beyond Self: Autoethnography and Post-Qualitative Research
Beyond Self: Autoethnography and Post-Qualitative Research
Description
This micromodule introduces you to autoethnography and post-qualitative research methodologies, emphasizing personal experience, reflexivity, and critical inquiry beyond traditional qualitative frameworks. Autoethnography invites researchers to systematically explore personal experiences and narratives to reflect broader social, political, and cultural contexts. Post-qualitative approaches challenge conventional qualitative research paradigms by challenging notions such as ‘data collection’ while emphasizing ethical complexity, relationality, and emergent understandings.
