ABSTRACT
Autoethnography is unlike other methods or ways of knowing because of the ways the researchers implicate themselves. In this chapter, I (Jillian) explore the risks and opportunities that accompany autoethnography by identifying what ethical dilemmas scholars have previously confronted. In addition, I consider the role of institutional review boards, common in the United States, and other ethics committees in reviewing and approving autoethnographic scholarship. I also offer suggestions for crafting ethical autoethnography.
