Interpretive Autoethnography

An excellent text. I have found this very useful and will definitely be using it to inform my teaching content.

This is a very useful book for those interested in developing their understanding of the many aspects of qualitative research. Even if autoethnography is not adopted, the reader will gain from a deeper understanding of where they might be positioned in their research.

This is an inspiring small text. Up-to-date, clearly written and bristling with more than enough signposted nuggets to tempt students and professionals to seriously consider an autoethnographic research option.

This book is useful for postgraduate students who wish to explore novel methods in their research.

This is a very easy book to read. Denzin's style isvery engaging and takes the reader with him, using a range of examples and clear definitions to support learning.

Definitely on my list of highly recommended approaches to research. Hardlyt considered in counselling psychology, this book is an absolute must for those wanting to explore and research the meaning they assign to their own experiences. It is a wonderful text, well written, easy to understand and leaves you wanting to go ahead and start auto-ethnogrpahic research!

Denzin's classic text on interpretive autoethnography has not lost a bit of its perceptive challenge to the field and this second edition offers a range of new examples and fresh reflections. I will be recommending this to any student interested in autoethnography, however, given its specific nature it will not be recommended as essential reading for students in the main.

A concise but at the same time deep introduction to interpretive autoethnography, it provides a wide coverage that cross-disciplinary boundaries. This is undoubtedly a text for advanced students.

A wonderful and original piece of writing about self-writing. Denzin truly encapsulates what it means to struggle with the tensions between the subjective selves.

This is a short but excellent introduction to a key qualitative research method. Denzin takes readers through the assumptions and terms behind the method, and provides helpful guidelines to useing the method to intepret lived experience. The example, Bill's Story, is rich and provides excellent examples of how to apply the method to personal troubles of the research subjects. The writing is evocative and nuanced. I will recommend this book to be used as a supplemental to more standard UG textbooks in qualitative research methods.
