This book explores the value of duoethnography to the study of interdisciplinary practice. Illustrating how dialogic and relational forms of research help to facilitate deeply emic, personal, and situated understandings of practice, the editors and contributors promote personal reflexivity and changes in practice. Education, drama, nursing counselling, and art in classroom, university, and larger professional spaces are examined by students, teachers, and practitioners using duoethnography to become more aware, dialogic, imaginative, and relational in their teaching.

Explores both the teaching of education courses and duoethnography as a methodology Examines the potential of duoethnography as a research methodology, attending to its dialogic and pedagogic features suitable for graduate research courses Offers a theorization of duoethnography as both a methodology and a pedagogy for self-examination, particularly in the realm of graduate education
