| Absztrakt | This article provides an autoethnographic account of my personal journey through `good time' sociology. Telling my story involves recounting my experience as a Catholic nun and closeted lesbian in 1970s' {USA}; providing a picture of what it was like to do the first {PhD} on lesbians in the {UK}; explaining the impact of drugs and alcohol research on my lesbian feminist sociological imagination and reflecting upon the place of `deviant bodies' in the new genetics and generally in society. My stories are framed by the backdrop of being a lesbian feminist sociologist in academia and informed by a small yet, emerging body of work by {LGBT} scholars who use autoethnography. Autoethnography is introduced as a methodological tool for speaking and writing reflexively about being out in academia. I demonstrate that telling one's story can become a gift – `a telling creating conversations that transcends our traumas' and a way of healing ourselves and others. |
