Duoethnography is a collaborative research methodology in which two or more researchers juxtapose their life histories in order to provide multiple understandings of a social phenomenon. Using their own biographies as sites of research and creating dialogic narratives, they provide multiple perspectives of this phenomenon for the reader, inviting the viewer to enter the conversation. The dialectic process of creating duoethnography is also designed to be transformative to the writers. In this volume, two dozen scholars present the first wave of duoethnographic writings on topics as diverse as gender, identity, and curriculum, with the editors framing key tenets of the methodology around the studies presented. This participatory, emancipatory methodology is of interest to those doing qualitative research and narrative writing in many disciplines.

Industry Reviews

"Always engaging, provocative, and insightful, the authors in Duoethnography present compelling performances of how social science research can be addressed from collaborative, critical, and creative perspectives. This collection of sophisticated and timely scholarship sings with dynamic potential for knowledge dissemination to diverse communities, and hopeful possibilities for transformation in complex personal, political, and pedagogical contexts."

--Carl Leggo, poet and professor, University of British Columbia, Vancouver

"For a volume to bridge so many public and private arenas is a challenge - but a successful one! And to do so in such a captivating way - presenting photographs, scripts, songs and other modes of scholarly writing - is a testament to the duality of what can only be called the "rigorous play" at work here. In each chapter, the researchers seem to dance together, pushing and supporting each other, as they explore their chosen territories. I found myself unable to stop reading and engaging with each piece."

-- Lisa M. Given. Professor of Information Studies, Charles Sturt University, Australia
