Carolyn Ellis is professor of communication and sociology in the Department of Communication at the University of South Florida. She is the author of Final Negotiations (1995) and The Ethnographic I (2004) and numerous autoethnographic short stories. She is also coeditor (with Arthur Bochner) of Composing Ethnography (1996), Ethnographically Speaking (2002), and the Left Coast book series Writing Lives.
"Revision is primarily a why-to-do autoethnography book rather than
a how-to-do autoethnography manual. It is a testament to the
importance and value of autoethnography as a qualitative research
method. Ellis examines and re-examines her 'I' in ways that 'aren't
easily addressed by orthodox social science.' This book is
appropriate for beginner and veteran autoethnography researchers
alike, as it showcases some of the finest autoethnographic works in
print."- The Qualitative Report
"Everyone who is interested in autoethnography and ethnography,
autobiography and biography, in writing and the rhythm of life
should read this book. You should read this book, and feel it, and
then go back to work and live it." - Leanne Pupcheck, Southern
Communication Journal
