Routledge - An Autoethnography of Becoming A Qualitative Researcher

Explore the personal side of academic life with An Autoethnography of Becoming A Qualitative Researcher. This book by Routledge provides a unique look at Trude Klevan's doctoral journey and her transition into the neoliberal higher education environment. By using an extended dialogue format, the text offers a rare and intimate view of the process of becoming an academic. Through the use of email exchanges as data, the book explores the relationship between Klevan and Alec Grant, who serves as both an external academic resource and a friend. This work is grounded in the concept of friendship as an epistemic resource, documenting a shared journey of academic growth. It is a valuable resource for those interested in qualitative research methods and the personal realities of academic development.
