Abstract
Academic Autoethnographies: Inside Teaching in Higher Education advances scholarship on autoethnography as a demanding, often unsettling, and necessarily imaginative research methodology that can produce personally, professionally, and socially useful understandings of teaching and researching in higher education. The book invites readers into the private and public realms of higher education academics who teach and research across diverse disciplines and university contexts. Academic Autoethnographies is distinctive within the existing body of autoethnographic scholarship in that most of the research presented in this book has been done in relation to South African university settings.
