“Autoethnography refers to ethnographic research, writing, story, and method that connect the autobiographical and personal to the cultural, social, and political. In autoethnography, the life of the researcher becomes a conscious part of what is studied.”
Lisa M. Given (ed.) (2006), The Sage Encyclopedia of Qualitative Research Methods. Los Angeles: SAGE.
Autoethnography is relevant for my research, just as it was relevant in my master’s, since I can use decades of personal knowledge about games and gamers.
