This session examines autoethnography as a rigorous qualitative research framework (Adams et al., 2015; Ellis et al., 2011) within Counselor Education. Presenters will explore its epistemology, methodology, and possibilities for reflexive scholarship. The session will demonstrate the use of autoethnography in researching immigrant re-professionalization, highlighting how self-reflective inquiry illuminates systemic barriers, identity shifts, and resilience in cross-cultural contexts.
