Doing and Writing Autoethnography: Authoring Self into Sociopolitical Being

In this chapter, I review the methodological literature to discuss the process of doing and writing autoethnography from inception to publication in four sections. Those sections include (1) autoethnographic data collection and generation, (2) selecting a theoretical framework or building a conceptual framework, (3) analyzing autoethnographic data, and (4) autoethnographic research writing. In each section, I share and compare the methods suggested by autoethnography methodologists and provide some examples from published autoethnographies by researchers of language education.
