About the Magazine

Founded in 2021 | United States

The AutoEthnographer magazine is dedicated to presenting the creative side of autoethnography, a method of qualitative inquiry that unites autobiography and ethnography by utilizing lived experience as evidence with which to explore cultural phenomena. A 501(c)(3), we are a digital magazine dedicated to creating a public, open-source space for creatives to share their personal stories of cultural experience. We aim to support emerging authors and artists, to promote cultural diversity and appreciation, and to celebrate creative expression as a vehicle for shared understanding and positive change.
