Light and sound: negotiating illness and the final threshold -- A tale of two halves and more: considering difference and listening -- Dog-eyed: how do children see their world? How do we see them? -- Part III: Autoethnography at work. Working with autoethnography: finding my voice--considerations of methodology -- Beyond narratives and solipsism to ethical knowing: ethics and self-care -- Analysis: speaking and reading from the heart -- Origins: sowing the seeds of personal values.
"Autoethnography in Early Childhood Education and Care both embraces and explores autoethnography as a methodology in early childhood settings, subsequently broadening discourses within education research through a series of troubling narratives. It breaks new ground for researchers seeking to use non-conventional practices in early years research. Drawing together research and literature from several disciplines, this unique book challenges the perception of what it means to be an early years practitioner: powerful and compelling narratives, from the author's first-hand experiences, offer both a creative and scholarly insight into the issues faced by those working in early childhood settings"--Publisher's description
