And you may find yourself...: Autoethnography in practice-based research

Thursday 23rd of June

1.15pm - 4.15pm

Room 6, University of Strathclyde, TIC Building, 99 George St, Glasgow G1 1RD

John Hails (Edinburgh Napier University)

Most practice-based researchers employ autoethnography, even if this takes implicit form. This workshop aims to explore specific applications of this method (or, more accurately, these methods) within a research project and what form these might take. We will begin by breaking down practice-based research into three main domains (framework, method, and data), discussing the implications for this approach for different kinds of project. We will discuss the place of rigour and creativity within autoethnographic data gathering as well as exploring elements of collaborative autoethnography. All participants will be invited to take part in creating an autoethnographic response to their own work, and we will devise and discuss methods to use this as part of a research project write-up.
