definition: 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. [Source: The SAGE Encyclopedia of Qualitative Research Methods; Autoethnography]
