Autoethnography

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of writing a diary? Autoethnography is kind of like that. It's a way for people to write about their own experiences and feelings, but in a more scientific or professional way.

Imagine you went on a trip to a different country and you wrote a diary about all the cool things you saw and how they made you feel. Autoethnography is like taking that diary and turning it into a bigger story that other people can learn from.

It's called "auto" because you're writing about yourself, and "ethnography" because it's like studying your own cultural experiences. It can help people understand different perspectives and experiences that they might not have had themselves.

So, autoethnography is when someone writes about their own personal experiences and reflects on how it relates to the culture around them. It's like a mix of a personal story and a research paper.
