an article by Emma Louise McKinney (Stellenbosch University, South Africa) published in Disability & Society Volume 33 Issue 2 (February 2018)
Abstract
In this analytical autoethnography, I share some of my complex relational experiences between my partner with a severe physical disability, his carers and myself.
The article explores the benefits of care and carers, the physical and emotional costs of carers and some of the general considerations taken in this triad relationship.
I share some of my relational experiences with an audience who might not normally encounter or have thought about the dynamic relationships between this triad. It is hoped that this will stimulate an interest to open dialogue, offer support and provide an insight into the lives of some relationships.
I regret that the full article is available only to those with access to this journal via their institution or library. Of course you could always pay but it is not cheap.

A career journey: an auto-ethnographic insight
an article by Irene Ryan, (AUT University, Auckland, New Zealand) published in Gender in Management: An International Journal Volume 27 Issue 8 (2012)
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how the use of an auto-ethnographic life history can provide rich, original data to critically analyse the interplay between the socially constructed self, a career journey over time and societal change.
Design/methodology/approach
A reflexive auto-ethnography is used as a conduit to explore a career journey. The author draws on the fluidity of ageing to make visible gendered organisational processes. The setting is New Zealand.
Findings
To understand the interplay of a career journey through a life history approach and intersectional analysis reinforces the life-long significance of gender with ageing.
Originality/value
The author suggests that by reflecting on the complex interplay of one’s own life through an intersectional approach can add a further dimension to scholarly thinking on the “doing” of intersectionality when considering the career journey of others.
