Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, v49 n3 p315-332 Aug 2012
Scholarly inquiry into identity development is a foundation of the student affairs field; typically, such scholarship examines domains of student development as discrete entities. This paper explains the process an autoethnographic research group employed to explore how multiple identities have been shaped during coresearchers' lifetimes. Findings highlight how this methodology can contribute to new understandings of the intersection of student affairs research and practice.
