Autoethnography in Undergraduate Writing Courses blends narrative and analysis in an engaging and applicable account of how the genre of autoethnography can be a valuable addition or alternative to traditional research assignments.

Recenzje

"With a creative and engaging narrative of his own, Justin Hopkins tempts composition instructors to adopt autoethnography to enhance the writing and learning of their students. Interspersing actual drafts from students, he lucidly demonstrates how student research, composing, voice, and ideologies can be addressed transformatively by teachers. He makes a compelling case for the rhetorical and intellectual value of this genre, wiping out any lingering doubts on the academic relevance of the personal and narrative." -Suresh Canagarajah, Professor, Pennsylvania State University
