Creating Autoethnographies is an introduction to autoethnography - an ever-growing research method. It provides a background to the method, considers some of the criticisms of the approach and provides worked examples throughout. It is suitable for all social science students, both at postgraduate and also upper level undergraduate stage. Within the book, Tessa Muncey identifies a number of trends in social science research (such as the increasing focus on the individual, giving a voice to service users etc.) that are resulting in an increase of interest in narrative research. Creating Autoethnographies is a timely contribution to the field. The book is structured to mirror the process of writing about experience, beginning with establishing an idea, through the process of writing and the development of creative writing skills to enhance the text, to detailed worked examples of the whole process. The final two chapters are devoted to exploring two cases in which readers can see the principles discussed in action. The book is filled throughout with case studies drawn a wide arange of social science disciplines as possible, as well as exercises that come from a range of fields. Creating Autoethnographies is the first ever practical textbook published in the growing field of autoethnography.
