Congratulations to the Journal of Autoethnography which received the Best New Journal Award from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals (CELJ) at this past weekend's annual meeting of the Modern Language Association. The CELJ is an organization of editors of scholarly journals in all disciplines

Because COVID is ubiquitous, it is exhausting. However, we also knew we needed to do something. This forum is our compromise.

"Researchers can use autoethnography to demonstrate how abstract, abrupt, and vast changes affect particular lives: specific and contextual experiences of stress and survival, grief and loss, loneliness and connection, desires for structure and normalcy."

In recognition of the impact of coronavirus on campus instruction and the rise of unplanned distance learning, University of California Press is pleased to make all of our online journals content free to all through June, 2020.

Journal of Autoethnography is a refereed, international, and interdisciplinary journal devoted to the purposes, practices, and principles of autoethnography.
