*Course description:*

The course explores autoethnography as a main or supplemental mindset 
and method. Students will gain insight into the ontological, 
epistemological, and ethical premises of autoethnography. Course themes 
include collaborative autoethnography; embodiment; autoethnography and 
intergenerational memory; autoethnography as a lens to engage with 
more-than-human entities; and decolonial potentialities. We unlock these 
themes by applying the prism of arts-based approaches.

Consequently, the course focuses on building the ability to conduct 
autoethnographic reflections through active text and audio-visual 
production. There will be group workshop time for experimentation with 
writing and arts-based approaches to autoethnography. Autoethnography 
covers well-known sociological and humanistic methods for 
critical-reflexive introspection on the researcher’s role and 
construction of relations with others. It offers rich narrative, visual 
and performative approaches for linking personal experience with the 
larger cultural phenomena being studied. It emphasizes the importance of 
both recognizing and including one’s own experiences and subjective 
understandings at all phases of the research project, including building 
ethnographic stories. Common to autoethnographic approaches is that the 
researcher reflects on their presence in the field and in the text by 
using a first-person narration.

Autoethnographic texts cut across multiple genres and mediaand artistic 
modes, e.g. from poetry, short stories, journalistic accounts, or 
visualizations (e.g. still photos, drawings), to performances, andvideos.

Lecturers:

Assoc. Professor Tatiana Chemi (Aalborg University) is the main lecturer 
and contributes with broad experience in performative autoethnography 
and arts-based research.

Assoc. Professors Lisbeth Frølundeand Linda Lapinaat Roskilde University 
are co-facilitators, lecturers and organizers.

Details regarding other guest teachers, panels, field studies and course 
activities will be announced in September 2022.**
