Elizabeth Aguirre Armendáriz, Adriana Gil Juárez
Through a co-constructed narrative, diverse implications, tensions, possibilities, and limits ofutilizing autoethnography as a research method and wring genre on a Social Psychology Dissertationabout drought from a constructionist perspective are reflected. A two voices exercise is presented:Dissertation advisor and advisee, from different places and deeply implicated, produce a socialknowledge production micro-space, where decision making flows through the process. For this purpose,the path begins at the research project construction process and finishes at an exprofeso moment throughthe dissertation development. In this document, autoethnography is presented as both a research method(Ellis, 2004) and writing genre (Richardson, 2000), for articulating both the advisor´s and advisee´svoices. Also, an analysis with stories and not about stories (Ellis, 2000) is utilized with the purpose ofpresenting an autoethnography instead of just discussing about it (Ellis & Bochner, 2000).
