Autoethnography as Hauntings

Abstract

The purpose of this manifesto is for it to become a part of your hauntings. For it is in our interactions with the writings of those who have come before us that we become inextricable accomplices in the joys and travesties of learning and knowing. Our engagement with the writings of Dwight Conquergood, Bud Goodall, Nick Trujillo, and others unite our voices with theirs to create collaborations resulting in change. In that moment when those ghostly apparitions of our autoethnographic encounters rise and make their selves known, we will then be able to embrace our hauntings, face them, use them.
