Beyond Self: Autoethnography and Post-Qualitative Research

Beyond Self: Autoethnography and Post-Qualitative Research

Open for application

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.
