Abstract:

Through autoethnographic research, we developed our Capstone projects. This poster is the culmination of our process throughout the year. Autoethnographic research can be dismissed for its unique quality of the self being the focal point of this project, but it can be, and has been the paramount to our discoveries. Autoethnography is an autobiographical genre of academic writing that draws on and analyzes or interprets the lived experience of the author and connects researcher insights to self-identity, cultural rules and resources. This poster will give a walkthrough of our journey in the past year of completing this project.
