What is methodenstreit?!

You know, I think the rise in autoethnography has something more to do with an overall concern toward multiculturalism and diversity. In polite society, it is often encouraged to be accepting of difference (whatever the personal beliefs may be), and it is this difference amidst similarity that autoethnography itself studies.

In many ways, new paradigm qualitative methods, such as autoethnography, push the boundaries of objectivity to such an extent that I wonder how much a researcher out there can ever really know about me and the complex perspectives and experience that I face and the composite product with which I travel through life.
