Section Introduction

I come to the writing of the introduction to this section on “Doing Autoethnography,” as a scholar; academic; teacher of research methodologies and methods to under-and postgraduate students; doctoral supervisor and examiner; and user of, and commentator on, autoethnographic approaches. I do auto/biographical work (with the slash following Stanley, 1993): it has been my modus operandi ever since I began working in universities in 1978.
