The Auto-Ethnographic Turn in Design

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.
