Ellis et al (2010),
describe Auto-Ethnography as an: “… approach to research and writing that seeks to
describe and systematically analyze personal experience in order to understand
cultural experience. This approach challenges canonical ways of doing research
and representing others and treats research as a political, socially-just and
socially-conscious act. A researcher uses tenets of autobiography and
ethnography to do and write auto-ethnography. Thus, as a method, auto-ethnography
is both process and product.”
In this blog, which will
be my personal journal through my daily experiences in Education, I will start
a process of writing my auto-ethnography.
I will mix stories from
the past, when I was a teacher in Brazil with my recent experiences of being a
teacher in Canada. I will try to make sense of the things that happened to me
when I was a teacher in Brazil that helped to shape who I am today. I will try
to show through my current stories what I still bring in me from my life
growing up and teaching in Brazil during the 70s, 80s and 90s. But I will not
tell you how old I am. You might figure this one out based on the stories you
will read.
I hope you enjoy reading
my stories.
Now, embark with me in
this adventurous journey from the past to the future!
Thank you!
PS.: In 2013, I gave an interview for the University of Calgary Courses' Program and I talked about some of the dreams I had at that point. Some of those dreams I already achieved!
Please, find on the link below a brief story of my educational trajectory after moving from Brazil to Canada.
