Meta-Ethnography of Autoethnographies: A Worked Example of the Method Using Educational Studies
Hughes, Sherick; Noblit, George
Ethnography and Education, v12 n2 p211-227 2017
Despite questions about autoethnography in the ethnography and education research family, autoethnography is published in selective peer-reviewed journals in education and in the social and health sciences. Even critics of autoethnographic studies note their "rising acceptance in the past 15 years" [Delamont, S. 2009. "The Only Honest Thing: Autoethnography, Reflexivity and Small Crises in Fieldwork." "Ethnography and Education" 4 (1): 51-63]. However, there has been less effort towards qualitative meta-synthesis to learn what other insights might be gained from collections of studies. With the advent of meta-autoethnography [Ellis, C. 2009. "Revision: Autoethnographic Reflections of Life and Work." Walnut Creek, CA: "Left Coast Press"], each author can find a way to synthesise her/his own autoethnographic works, however, synthesising autoethnographies of different authors has received no attention. This article examines a critical, systematic approach to the meta-ethnography of autoethnographies and offers a worked example of the method using educational studies.
