The 2024 ISAN (March 1-3, 2024) will provide scholars and practitioners of all experience levels an opportunity to present their autoethnographic and personal narrative projects and to participate in dialogue and sociability with scholars across a variety of disciplines. The format will be similar to the past ISANs (see “Past Conferences” page). CLICK HERE for more information about the 2024 ISAN.

On January 3-4, 2024, we are also planning to host an IAANI Forum on The Past, Present, and Future of Autoethnography at the Dolphin Beach Resort in St. Pete Beach, Florida (USA). If you would like to attend an in-person event related to autoethnography and narrative on a beach in January, then please save these dates. We will provide additional details about this event on June 15, 2023.
