ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the possibilities of using digital creations and comics as textual spaces for autoethnographic reflection, alongside teaching practices. It focuses on the work of a university professor who has been making comics with students for 13 years of educational practice. The chapter also focuses on the unfolding process of using autoethnography in visual and verbal, as well as a commentary of the unique affordances of both autoethnography and the comics medium. It then focuses on the affordances of autoethnographic methods of inquiry and how these methods align with comics reading and making within virtual space. The uniqueness of the comics medium as a textual site for identity work is of central note, as the complexity of the medium. The uniting features of images and words, including the unique juxtaposition of modes, have afforded a multitude of opportunities to connect with students of all ages across a range of methods.
