Reviews
""By far the best feature of Research Methodologies for Auto/biography Studies is the brevity and accessibility of its essays. They promise to make useful teaching tools, particularly as introductory reading that might organize units within a semester or as models for innovative research methods that students might try out themselves. As I read through the volume, I found myself bubbling over with new ideas about how to teach auto/biography, which is one of the strongest endorsements I can offer regarding this book’s contribution to the now established but still dynamic field of auto/biography studies."" - Desirée Henderson, Biography: An Interdisciplinary Quarterly
