The Auto-Ethnographic Turn in Design

Edited with text by Louise Schouwenberg, Michael Kaethler.

An intersectional approach to design that incorporates one’s context and self
The "auto-ethnographic turn" in design is emerging from a growing recognition of design’s capacity to make sense of one’s world. This book’s first section, Ideas and Dialogues, compiles reflections and conversations between theorists, educators and practitioners on conceptions of auto-ethnography and the self. The second section, Projects and Practices, demonstrates auto-ethnographic approaches.
