The Routledge International Handbook of Autoethnography in Educational Research is a comprehensive and cutting-edge exploration of the dynamic intersection between autoethnography and educational research. This handbook delves into the intricate relationship between these two fields, shedding light on their reciprocal influence and exploring four key themes:

Enhancing Teaching and Teacher Education with Autoethnography: This theme examines how autoethnography can be used to enhance teaching practices, teacher education, and professional development. It explores how autoethnographic research can provide valuable insights into the experiences and perspectives of teachers, facilitating their self-reflection, professional growth, and curriculum development.

Enlarging Doctoral Study and Supervision with Autoethnography: This theme focuses on the use of autoethnography in doctoral studies and supervision. It explores how autoethnography can facilitate the development of critical thinking, reflexivity, and self-awareness among doctoral students, enabling them to conduct rigorous and innovative research that contributes to the field.

Conducting Identity Work and Relationship-Building via Autoethnography: This theme explores how autoethnography can be used to conduct identity work and build relationships within educational contexts. It examines how autoethnographic research can help individuals understand their own identities, cultures, and experiences, as well as how these identities interact with others in the educational setting.

Promoting Social Justice through Autoethnography: This theme emphasizes the role of autoethnography in promoting social justice and equity in educational research. It explores how autoethnographic research can be used to raise awareness about marginalized voices, challenge power structures, and advocate for transformative change in educational practices and policies.

In addition to the synthesizing introduction and conclusion chapters, the handbook comprises 27 main chapters that cover current research from diverse regions such as Africa, Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Venezuela. These chapters present novel applications of various key concepts and research methods, including activism, arts-based research, critical reflection, decolonizing feminism, doctoral study and supervision, hybrid identities, Indigenous research, migrant education, racism, researcher self-efficacy, teacher identity, visual autoethnography, and writing as voice.

This handbook is a valuable resource for all researchers, particularly those utilizing qualitative and autoethnographic methods in the fields of Education and related disciplines. It offers insightful perspectives, practical insights, and theoretical frameworks that will enhance the understanding and practice of educational research. Whether you are an experienced researcher or a novice in the field, this handbook will provide you with the tools and knowledge necessary to excel in your academic endeavors.
