11/21: Brainstorming Your Autoethnographic Essay

The rest of this semester is dedicated to supporting you in writing your final project.

Small Group Work

As a way of imagining possibilities for your own autoethnographic essay, you will consider the three essays we’ve read as models. In small groups, fill in this chart that asks you to identify the signifying qualities of autoethnographic essays.

Large Group Work

We will come back as a group to list possible topics in the same document. I also have some questions for you about how best to proceed with this assignment.

HOMEWORK

READ chapter 5 of Kathy Charmaz’s text Constructing Grounded Theory available on BrightSpace. This reading is intended to prepare you to collect narrative data and coding that data, which we will begin during next week’s class.
