Duoethnography
Duoethnography is a collaborative research methodology in which two or more researchers engage in a dialogue on their disparate histories in a given phenomenon. Their goal is to interrogate and re-conceptualize existing beliefs through a conversation that is written in a play-script format. The methodology of duoethnography serves as the focus of this book. Duoethnography facilitates stratified, nested, auto-ethnographic accounts of a given research context or question, designed to emphasize the complex, reflexive, and aesthetic aspects of both the work in process and the product. As a curriculum and a research method, duoethnography explores two seminal issues: representation in qualitative research (how to represent findings when findings are created within a dynamic phenomenonological text), and praxis (how research contributes to a sense of personal change). Duoethnography allows researchers to explore their hybrid identities and to see how their lives have been situated socially and culturally. Recent duoethnographic studies have examined a range of topics, including forms of institutionalized racism, beauty, post-colonialism, multicultural identity construction, and professional boundaries between patient and practitioner in mental health professions.

Journey into Social Activism
Academic study of social activism and social movements has become increasingly prevalent over the years; this is due in large part to the fact that activists have captured public imagination and gained substantial influence in political discourse. For instance, Occupy Wall Street activists, Tea Party activists, and activists affiliated with the Arab Spring have transformed political debates and have become the focus of mainstream news media coverage about a variety of different political topics. Journey into Social Activism explicates the philosophical foundations of the study of activism and illustrates four different research sites in which activism can be observed and studied: organizations, networks, events, and alternative media. The book will introduce students and scholars to important qualitative approaches to the study of social activism within these four research sites, which is based entirely on successful research projects that have been conducted and published in recent years. Ultimately, this book will prove integral to any students and scholars who wish to use qualitative methods for their research endeavors concerning social activism in contemporary society.

Reflexión metodológica sobre un caso de docencia e investigación con métodos cualitativos: la trastienda del proceso investigador y su archivo como conceptos clave
Partiendo del análisis de tres experiencias entre la docencia y la investi - gación con estudiantes de posgrado en Ciencias Sociales, en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid (España), este artículo plantea que la formación en métodos cualitativos, así como la reflexión metodológica sobre sus posibilidades de aplicación e innovación, pueden beneficiarse de los conceptos de trastienda (Wainerman y Sautu 1997; Castillo, Valles y Wainerman 2009) y archivo (Corti 2011). Primero se entronca con una línea conceptual y de práctica docente- investigadora con raíces en las Américas y Europa. La atención principal gira alrededor de modos concretos de combinar diferentes métodos ensayados con tres promociones de estudiantes de posgrado con procedencias curriculares, académicas y laborales diversas. Se reflexiona metodológicamente y se extraen las lecciones aprendidas de los tres modos de práctica docente-investigadora. Entre lo practicado con cada promoción, alrededor de proyectos reales de in - vestigación (con posibilidad de revisar otros pasados), se barajaron ejercicios de escritura biográfica y de diario etnográfico, de entrevistas cualitativas y grupos de discusión. Trasversalmente se reflexiona sobre formas de teorizar y practicar campo cualitativo en clave de archivo y trastienda de quien investiga y lo que se investiga, desde coordenadas de metodología sociológica abierta a otras ciencias sociales.
