ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a personal, reflective and critical account of author's experience as an undergraduate BA (Hons) Education and Sociology student taking part in a module which aimed to put into practice a different approach to knowledge production and student engagement. The chapter includes a discussion of the autoethnographic materials which author produced and the theories drawn on to analyze these materials. The author explores his personal narrative through identity theory in order to combine personal and theoretical elements which fitted into 'analytical' and 'evocative' autoethnography. He includes three extracts of the autoethnography that he produced for the module. The first extract is a narrative section called 'Education first' which describes his personal experiences. The second extract contains photographic images he took, which provide a visual representation of the conflict in identity described in his personal narrative account. His third extract is a theoretical analysis of the links that he drew between his own experience and social identity theory.
