Doing Autoethnography

How to do autoethnography? What does it entail? What are the different ways of doing ethnography of the auto (self)? These are some of the questions that find answers in this volume through specific illustrations. Within a single frame, the editor brings together 23 interesting autoethnographic representations, with a Foreword by eminent anthropologist Professor Tanka B. Subba. The individual chapters address issues of methodology, subjectivity, self-identity, voice, and of being. Each contributor brings in rich narratives to discuss myriad issues through an autoethnographic gaze. 

First of its kind in the subcontinent, this book delves into a new genre of research and writing that has become integral in the social sciences — anthropology, sociology, culture studies, English, and behavioural, educational, and psychological studies. This book will be helpful for students dealing with research methodology and research writing.
