Ethnography is not a prescribed set of methods- it is a methodology that acknowledges the complexity of human experience and the need to research it by close and sustained observation of human behaviour. It involves empirical work, especially observation, with the aim to producing a full, nuanced, non-reductive text. This style of research can be defined as the study of people in naturally occurring settings or fields by means of methods which capture their social meanings and ordinary activities, involving the researcher participating directly in the setting, if not also the activities, in order to collect data in a systematic manner but without meaning being imposed on them externally (O’Reilly 2005; Atkinson et.al. 2001; Atkinson & Hammersley 2007). Autoethnography refers to an individual researcher’s study of his or her own life and its context, meaning studying one’s own culture or one’s own group of people (Reed-Danahay 1997). Conducting autoethnographic study comes with its own set of knowledge, understanding and biasness. Therefore, this paper attempts to bring out the ethical dilemma involved in conducting an autoethnographic research in the Northeastern India where the authors bring insights from their multisited field experiences.
