Writing Philosophical Autoethnography is the result of Alec
Grant’s vision of bringing the disciplines of philosophy and
autoethnography together. This is the first volume of narrative
autoethnographic work in which invited contributing authors were
charged with exploring their issues, concerns, and topics about
human society, culture, and the material world through an
explicitly philosophical lens. Each chapter, while written
autoethnographically, showcases sustained engagement with
philosophical arguments, ideas, concepts, theories, and
corresponding ethical positions. Unlike much other autoethnographic
work, within which philosophical ideas often appear to be "grafted
on" or supplementary, the philosophical basis of the work in this
volume is fundamental to its shifting content, focus, and context.
The narratives in this book, from scholars working in a range of
disciplines in the humanities and human sciences, function as
narrative, conceptual, and analytical exemplars to act as a guide
for autoethnographers in their own writing, and suggest future
directions for making autoethnography more philosophically
rigorous. This book is suitable for students and scholars of
autoethnography and qualitative methods in a range of disciplines,
including the humanities, social and human sciences, communication
studies, and education.
A personal and intimate view of what it's really like trying to
become an academic Challenges notions of the 'right way' to do
things in higher education provides alternative paradigms for how
to do qualitative research

Part of the PCCS Books `Our Encounters With...' Series, this is a
powerful testimony of the destructive, sometimes fatal, effects of
stalking on its victims. With an introduction by the author Peter
James, himself a victim of stalking, the book foregrounds the
experiences of those who have been (and are still being) stalked.
It offers a unique insight into the commonalities of experience and
a platform where people who have, in many cases, been driven into
silence and anonymity are able to write openly and angrily about
their battles to stay sane and re-establish a life free from their
persecutor. The book is in three main sections: Professional and
third sector; the police and the courts; first-person accounts of
the experience of being stalked, its impact on the victims and
those around them. The book concludes with a summary of the main
themes and conclusions, a reflection on some of the editorial
conversations between the editors of the book, and a list of
helpful resources and information.
