Who is Eye? An Autoethnographic View on Higher Educational Spaces from a Pasifika Girl

  • Chapter

Abstract

Chang (2007) discusses the challenges of autoethnography being self-indulgent, and focussed on the narrative and therefore lacking in academic analysis. In regard to the challenge of lacking analysis within auto-ethnography, three voices were birthed through previous work. These voices are now the voices in which the Pasifika girl gets culture (Pelias, 2003).
