“…Autoethnography fights against the dominance of 'positivist assumptions and practices' (Grant, 2018). Many autoethnographies focus on deep, personal suffering that the researchers have experienced on subjects in great need of attention on this planetchild abuse (Ronai, 1995;Murray, 2016), rape (Spry, 2011;Gregory, 2009;Duncan, 2017), violence (Scott, 2011), gender characterisation (Mai & Laine, 2016;Benova, 2014;Young and McKibban, 2014), sexuality (Ettore, 2010;Crawley & Husakouskaya, 2013), power struggles (Taber, 2010;Purdy, Potrac & Jones, 2008) and environmental destruction (Raynes, Mix, Spotts & Ross, 2016), to name but a few. Such perspectives are seen as providing opportunities for researchers to present perspectives of cultural phenomenon in ways that traditional research cannot achieve -statistics may shock me, but numbers don't bring tears to my eyes like Ronai's (1995) autoethnography about child abuse did.…”
