Developing Educator Practice: A Duoethnography Approach

Duoethnography is a well-established methodology in education that enables critical reflection through collaborative dialogue and sensemaking by exploring lived experiences. As educators in different institutions who work with diverse student cohorts, we reflect on the benefits of duoethnography as a means of enhancing our teaching practice. We also reflect on the challenges of duoethnography, including the need for mutual researcher respect and trust, the ethical challenges of exposing oneself and others, and the difficulties in publishing this relatively novel approach in management journals. Despite these challenges, we have found duoethnography a powerful tool for critical reflection, offering valuable insights into teaching practices and broader pedagogical debates.
