Pedagogic Frailty and Resilience in the University

Abstract

What are the benefits to the autoethnographic subject of analysing pedagogic frailty? How might he or she continue to make use of the concept maps once they have been formulated?

And what are the experiences of the autoethnographers themselves within such a process?
