Workshop: Autoethnography as Method

Please reserve your place at this workshop

In this interactive seminar, Benjamin Meaker Distinguished Visiting Professor Jackie Leach Scully will explore the challenges and advantages of using autoethnography as method. Reflecting on how her own experience as the recipient of a donated liver informed her research, she will facilitate collaborative discussion. Participants will be invited to consider:

• How they have used - or might seek to use - their own lived experience in their academic work
• The benefits and drawbacks of autoethnographic methods
• Whether (and when) these methods may be of value

Jackie Leach Scully's forthcoming monograph, Incorporated: Ethics and Experience in Transplantation (Oxford University Press) uses autoethnograpy to offer a fresh examination of the ethical landsape of organ donation and recipientship in the UK.

Suitable for:

PGR students and academic researchers at the University of Bristol
