Hello, Mary! Thank you so much your sharing! Yes, i am looking for these articles to guide me. At least to get some ideas how to start the autoethnography.

I am on the wheelchair. i went through lots of experiences about people's perception, attitude towards disability. i go to school. i use public transport. i always talk to city council the inaccessibility of facilities. i write to newspaper when i have times. i understand very well why people perceive disability as weakness, personal problem rather than to view it from social barriers that preventing our participation.

Even though i have my experiences but i just don't know what is my focus point and scope from sociological perspective.

Anyway i am grateful to you for sending me the useful articles. i will read soon. Thank you!

Hello Khu

I wonder if these are relevant - I have looked for papers that answered your reply after the first list, but don't know if these are helpful:

Russell Shuttleworth, a ResearchGate member has written around this subject - it might be worth looking at his publications page:

Shuttleworth, R., Wedgwood, N., & Wilson, N. J. (2012). The dilemma of disabled masculinity. Men and Masculinities, 15(2), 174-194.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/254117889_The_Dilemma_of_Disabled_Masculinity

This might not be as useful, but it is the full paper:

Article The Dilemma of Disabled Masculinity

Dear Mary,

Thank so much your prompt response! You are helpful! i will read it and look forward your guide again. 

Have a nice day!

Regards,

khu

One of our grad students just finished his thesis on this: http://dc.etsu.edu/etd/2520/

Hi Andrew, I'm following this thread and was wondering if there's any way to get further information about the thesis you mentioned - I see it is embargoed until 2019! I have a personal interest in the topic chosen by the author (Manning).

Dear All,

I am also conducting my PhD using the Autoethnography as qualitative research method. I am completing my thesis.

Can any one please guide me as "what are the tools to conduct Autoethnography" as I am asked this question from the evaluation commission and I need to address it with implementation in order to get my thesis accepted.

Thanking you in advance for your help.

Best regards

Shan

Hi Shan-E-Raza Syed

Have you looked at the following three textbooks? Each of them offers some valuable tips regarding research design, methods and tools for autoethnography. You will need to interrogate them all to identify the best tools for your PhD :-)

Autoethnography (Understanding Qualitative Research)

by Tony E. Adams, Stacy Holman Jones, Carolyn Ellis

AND

Critical Autoethnography: Intersecting Cultural Identities in Everyday Life

by Robin M Boylorn (Editor); Mark P Orbe (Editor); Carolyn Ellis (Foreword); Arthur P. Bochner (Foreword)

AND

Transforming Self and Others through Research: Transpersonal Research Methods and Skills for the Human Sciences and Humanities (Suny Series in Transpersonal and Humanistic Psychology)

by Rosemarie Anderson (Author), William Braud (Author)

Regards

Diane

The following books I think that are relevant.  I was able to buy Composing Ethnography (published in 1996, see below), which I think is most relevant for accounts on autoethnography, especially  Autobiology by David Payne.

Taking ethnography into the twenty-first century by Carolyn Ellis. https://works.bepress.com/carolyn_ellis/20/

Composing Ethnography - Alternative forms of qualitative writing edited by Carolyn Ellis and Arthur P. Bochner. 

Standpoint epistemologies from another book is very useful. - Interpretive Ethnography: Ethnographic Practices for the 21st Century

By Norman K. Denzin

Hi Diane Schwikkard,

Thank you very much for your feedback and support.

All the best.

maybe a good place for you to start. thanks and regards.

The Diversity and Multiculturalism class at Walden University was all the hype about Autoethnographies! Great information.

Felix Harper

Your course clearly made an impact; any reading from it that you could suggest to Khu Li Huang?

I believe that this was your initial reading list:

Are you wanting to write an autoethnography? If this is your hope, understanding the research methodology is enough to get you on track. Autoethnography lends itself to difference. The autoethographer is both researcher and researched. It would be wonderful if you or another researcher could successfully produce an autoethnography and disability. Carolyn Ellis and Art Bochner are the gurus on this methodology. You will find some of their work in online papers and also the wonderful book: The Ethnographic I. My PhD was "an autoethnography exploring writing poetry as prayer in the context of Ignatian spirituality". It is in the online archives of the University of Divinity in Melbourne.

Hi! Tq Li Huang for asking this question. i just want to ask the same question. anyway thank u for those who answer. i hope u all don't mind if i refer to the examples given. my journey just started. i have no guru nearby to guide me using this method but i still have to mastery this as one of the requirement to complete my PhD. i hope any of u can be my discussion and critical friend along my journey. tq tq tq in advance for the effort.

For the start, how to write the proposal using this method? Is it the same as normal proposal?

For a good structure, try reading this one.
