Autoethnography as a wide-angle lens on looking (inward and outward)

Claudia Mitchell

pp. 175-189

One of the defining features of autoethnography that binds all autoethnographies, as Holman Jones, Adams, and Ellis observed, "is the use of personal experience to examine and/or critique cultural experience" (2013, p. 7). In this chapter, I address the question of how autoethnography can contribute to teaching in higher education institutions, and situate this work in the context of South Africa.
