AUTO-ETHNOGRAPHY IN PUBLIC POLICY ADVOCACY - LO...

This book explores how public policy advocacy can be used to approach policy issue
identification  resolution or  at the least  support the management of wicked policy issues. By
describing how this type of advocacy draws on participatory action research  including
ethnographic and auto-ethnographic models  this book offers a tool for public policy consumer
advocates on how to apply the Human Capabilities Approach to address presenting public policy
issues worldwide.By applying these models to the situation of prisoners with hearing loss in
New Zealand's prisons  it identifies multiple causal factors for quality-of-life-limiting
marginalization  e.g. social barriers (e.g. disability discrimination)  environmental
limitations (e.g. geographical and those introduced by incarceration)  and individual responses
in line with negative attitudes - both social and political  including the State's denial of
prisoners' right to democratic participation by revoking their right to vote in general
elections after sentencing. In addition  two other areas  namely blood safety and broadcast
media captioning  are highlighted  showing that the skill of auto-ethnography is transferrable
and can be applied to ensure effective consumer advocacy for a diverse range of issues that
affect marginalized sectors.
