Abstract

I am presenting an abbreviated version of my doctoral thesis; in which I am trying to show some meaningful moments both from its construction process and mines, which in a significant amount were configured by utilizing autoethnography. This experience was a lot more complex than I expected when I decided to use it when my thesis director, Adriana Gil-Juarez, suggested to use it. So much, that I transited step by step from drought to autoentography as my research topic.

Keywords

Doctoral thesis, Autoethnography, Drought, process
