In 2011, Doing Autoethnography—the first conference to focus solely
on autoethnographic principles and practices—was held in chilly
Detroit, Michigan on the campus of Wayne State University. The
conference has since occurred four additional times (2013, 2014, 2015,
2016). Across the five conferences, thousands of attendees from more
than ten countries have participated in hundreds of presentations,
more than a dozen workshops, and multiple keynote addresses. The
chapters in this collection represent outstanding work from the five
conferences. Together, authors interrogate autoethnography ethically,
theoretically, relationally, and methodologically. Readers will
encounter many overlapping themes: identity norms and negotiations;
experiences tied to race, gender, sexuality, size, citizenship, and
dis/ability; exclusion and belonging; oppression, injustice, and
assault; barriers to learning/education; and living with/in
complicated relationships. Some chapters provide clear resolutions;
others seemingly provide none. Some authors highlight conventionally
positive aspects of experience; others dwell in what might be
understood as relational darkness. Some experiences will likely
resonate with many readers; others will feel unique, unusual,
exceptional. In its entirety, the collection will take readers on an
evocative, reflexive, and insightful journey.
