Abstract

Drawing on our shared experiences and identities, we demonstrate how storytelling, critical reflection, and the use of conversation can enhance the credibility and depth of qualitative research. Our work expands on existing duoethnographic methodologies by offering a flexible, structured, and rigorous process for researchers to engage in meaningful, transformative dialogue. Critical Dialogic Conversations are introduced as a tool for generating and analyzing qualitative data specific to duoethnography.
