RES 3120 - Autoethnographic Research

This advanced research course focuses on the foundations and applications of autoethnography. This research approach is based on the premise of new knowledge as discoverable from the individual researcher's experience within a specific social and cultural context. This course provides an in-depth understanding of the practical skills necessary to design and conduct autoethnographic research exploring evocative, analytic, and critical autoethnographic approaches. Students identify how the theoretical and philosophical foundations of postmodernism and symbolic interactionist traditions align with their own philosophical orientations. Autoethnographic research examples are reviewed and critiqued. Students evaluate issues of research safety, ethics, and feasibility within their proposed research. Finally, students design the methods section of a research prospectus. Prerequisite(s): RES 2300 Qualitative Data Collection and Analysis. In addition, all required foundational research courses as determined by student's program must be completed. 3 credit(s)
