| Special Issue Autoethnography as Research Practice Special Issue Editors: Faith Wambura Ngunjiri, Kathy-Ann Hernandez, Heewon Chang Eastern University, USA Call for Proposals A special issue of the Journal of Research Practice (JRP) will focus on autoethnography--an emerging research approach for understanding of self in social-cultural context, whereby the researcher is both the subject and object of the research enterprise. There appears to be an emerging continuum in the way autoethnography is defined and practiced: on the one end are those who emphasize the analytical and scientific nature of autoethnography, while on the other end are those who emphasize the artistic, evocative nature of the autoethnographic process. The articles would relate to pursuing autoethnography as research practice and the challenges and opportunities emanating from that. Proposals of about 500 words are invited. Authors of selected proposals will be requested to develop their proposals into articles to be submitted for the special issue. These articles will be put through JRP’s usual double-blind review process. Successful articles will be published, after any necessary revision. Please send your proposal containing your name and contact details, as a plain text e-mail with a subject line stating "JRP Special Issue on Autoethnography [first author's surname in brackets]" to: Faith Wambura Ngunjiri Assistant Professor of Organizational Leadership Eastern University, St Davids, Pennsylvania, USA fngunjir@eastern.edu |
