dc.description.abstractAutoethnography has long been recognised as a qualitative research method involving reflexivity. Ellis and Bochner (2003, p. 209) describe autoethnographyas an 'autobiographical genre of writing and research that displays multiple layers of consciousness, connecting the personal to the cultural'. The flexibility of this method means that it can be moulded to suit specific research directions.In Indigenous contexts, using reflexivity as autoethnography is a helpful tool for social work researchers as it 'unmasks complex political/ideological agendas hidden in our writing' (Richardson, 1994, p. 523). In order to be self-reflexive researchers need to explore their own personal experiences so that the relationship between their subjective experiences are explained in relation to how they interact with the world of others.
