Revision: An autoethnography study toolkit 2023

The aim of the autoethnography study toolkit is to introduce participants, students and researchers to the opportunity to draw more significant conclusions about the culture of, for instance, the education experience. This study toolkit includes:

1. Understanding autoethnography narrative
2. Ethics in writing about the self and others
3. Autoethnography writing styles
4. A series of writing exercises
5. Reflection and analysis discussion

The toolkit focuses on reflective writing practices that can be of benefit to all students, staff and researchers, especially those who are interested in autoethnography research either as producers or readers. As participants, we will have the opportunity to portray cultural experiences and address particular topics. Then, we will incorporate our autoethnographic texts into the reflection and analysis to examine a particular memory or personal experience from various perspectives. Examining our written texts may provide us with new approaches to think about culture, offer insights into the cultures we belong to, give us more agency in representing the cultures we want to critique, and help us appreciate the cultures we create through our lived experiences.
