The purpose of this research is to try to understand, in some way, if Wenger’s Community of Practice framework makes a difference within the research or experiential lives of those who conduct autoethnographic research, especially given that many in the larger research community still see this as a contested strategy of inquiry.
The only qualification for participation in this research is that you should have completed and published at least one autoethnographic work, with publishing used in a broad sense to mean publicly presented it to others, such as at a conference, in a journal, online, or even submitted for a degree program.
Please let me know if you know of anybody willing to participate or learn more, and I can provide further information. There is a tight timeline for this research, and it is hoped the interviews will take place by August 15th.
As a research project at Lancaster University, ethical approval has been given for this project, and all considerations and a consent form will be thoroughly discussed and reviewed prior to any data collection.
Hi Jeffrey – I sent you an email yesterday about being willing to volunteer, and passed on another contact. I wanted to communicate about it directly and privately with you and not not here, but a cut and paste of your email address from here on your blog doesn’t work – there is a space after the @ symbol and it won’t send. I made a guess at what it could be, but since I haven’t heard back I am thinking I guessed incorrectly. Please confirm your correct address. Thanks.
@Shannon
Thank you for your comments and email. Glad you got the email to work properly. I wish the days of having clickable personal email on websites was not gone, but the spam spam spam! Did reply to you this morning, and appreciate your offer of assistance.
