Writing Lives: Ethnographic Narratives publishes
narrative representations of qualitative research projects. The series
editors seek manuscripts that blur the boundaries between humanities
and social sciences. We encourage novel and evocative forms of
expressing concrete lived experience, including autoethnographic,
literary, poetic, artistic, visual, performative, critical,
multi-voiced, conversational, and co-constructed representations. We
are interested in ethnographic narratives that depict local stories;
employ literary modes of scene setting, dialogue, character
development, and unfolding action; and include the author's critical
reflections on the research and writing process, such as research
ethics, alternative modes of inquiry and representation, reflexivity,
and evocative storytelling.
Proposals and manuscripts should be directed to abochner@cas.usf.edu
