Abstract

As a community of five doctoral students and our professor, we devoted our advanced qualitative methods class to autoethnography. We were interested in this methodology due to its reflexive process and active engagement of the reader (Ellis, 1995). We were informed by personal journals, teacher evaluations, experiences, and interviews. We will share our autoethnographies exploring family relationships, loss, illness, motherhood, and teacher identity during this panel presentation.
