Evolves autoethnography as a methodology and argues that this approach can help tutors to inform and enhance their approaches to teaching and research.
Perspectives
The article draws on my lived experiences as a graduate, the mistakes I made, worries I had, ambitions I knew and also didn't know were mine. Reflection on this time is then used to inform teaching on a creative writing course at the University of Brighton, working with undergraduates who are about to leave higher education and helping them to navigate the liminal space post-graduation can open up.
