This chapter summarizes the advancement of duoethnography throughout its fifteen-year history, employing examples from a variety of topics in education and social justice to provide a wide range of approaches that one may take when conducting a duoethnography. A checklist articulates what its cofounders consider the core elements of duoethnographies, additional features that may or may not be employed and how some studies purporting to be duoethnographies may not be so. The chapter indicates connections between duoethnography and a number of methodological concepts including the third space, the problematics of representation, feminist inquiry, and critical theory using published examples by several duoethnographers.

Drawing on research in progress in the Partispace project we make a case for the recognition of the importance of non-formal spaces in response to young refugees across three different national contexts: Frankfurt in Germany; Gothenburg in Sweden; and Manchester in the UK. It is argued that recognition of local regulation and national controls of immigration which support climates of hostility makes it important to recognise and affirm the significance of non-formal spaces and ‘small spaces close to home’ which are often developed in the ‘third space’ of civil society and arise from the impulses driven by the solidarity of volunteers. In these contexts it is important that practices of hospitality can develop which symbolically reconstitute refugees as hosts and subjects of a democratic conversation, without which there is no possible administrative solution to the refugee crisis. It is essential that educational spaces such as schools, colleges and universities forge strong bonds with such emergent spaces.

The locus of encounter between art, science and the public can be conceptualized as third space—a generative site of shared experience. This article reports on a group-based psychosocial method led by imagery and affect—the visual matrix—that enables researchers to capture and characterize knowledge emerging in third space, where disciplinary boundaries are fluid and there is no settled discourse. It presents an account of the visual matrix process in the context of an artscience collaboration on memory and forgetting. The authors show how the method illuminates aesthetic and affective dimensions of participant experience and captures the emerging, empathic and ethical knowing that is characteristic of third space.

Bekasi is referred to commuter city. A commuter is someone who travels to a city to work and returns to his hometown every day, usually from a place that is quite far from where he works. There is nothing interesting to invite travelers to this city. The city is home to millions of residents who mostly work in the capital city of Jakarta. The reason is because Jakarta is already overcrowded and the price of a residential unit in Jakarta has escalated. Bekasi society has high mobility. They departed from morning and returned when it was dark. The house is only used as a rest. There is no cultural trend in Bekasi as well as a shared space for residents to communicate with each other and express interest in their talents. There needs to be a forum to embrace the polarity of the city with nature to coexist in order to produce a more attractive environment and accommodate the city of Bekasi as an educational recreation area, combining the value of sociability and relaxation. The third place becomes a role that can contribute to the overall lifestyle of the community. For this reason, people need to realize that the third space is an undisputable asset. The concept of this third space is quite unique for the process of developing a place, because the third space breaks through a generation with a much better deal than the characteristics of other places. This project uses the trans programming method for the program in the project and the building typology method which will analyze several aspects of the performing arts buildings from the past to the present. The main concept of this project prioritizes the flexibility of space so that it can be used for several different activities. AbstrakKota Bekasi sering disebut dengan kota komuter. Komuter adalah seseorang yang bepergian ke suatu kota untuk bekerja dan kembali ke kota tempat tinggalnya setiap hari, biasanya dari tempat tinggal yang cukup jauh dari tempat bekerjanya. Tidak ada hal yang menarik untuk mengajak para pelancong ke kota ini. Kota ini adalah rumah bagi jutaan penduduk yang sebagian besar bekerja di ibukota Jakarta. Alasannya mudah, karena Jakarta sudah sesak dan harga satu unit tempat tinggal di Jakarta sudah meroket. Masyarakat Bekasi memiliki mobilitas yang tinggi. Mereka berangkat dari pagi dan kembali saat hari sudah gelap. Rumah hanya dijadikan untuk beristirahat saja. Tidak terdapat tren kebudayaan di Bekasi sekaligus ruang bersama untuk warga saling berkomunikasi dan menuangkan minat bakatnya. Perlu adanya sebuah wadah untuk merangkul polaritas kota dengan alam untuk hidup berdampingan supaya menghasilkan lingkungan yang lebih menarik dan mengakomodasi kota Bekasi menjadi tempat rekreasi edukatif, menggabungkan nilai sosiabilitas dan relaksasi. Ruang ketiga menjadi peran yang bisa berkontribusi dengan keseluruhan gaya hidup masyarakat. Untuk itu masyarakat perlu menyadari bahwa, ruang ketiga menjadi aset yang tidak dapat diperdebatkan. Konsep ruang ketiga ini cukup unik untuk proses perkembangan sebuah tempat, karena ruang ketiga menerobos sebuah generasi dengan kesepakatan yang jauh lebih baik daripada karakteristik tempat lain.  Proyek ini menggunakan metode trans programming untuk program di dalam proyek dan metode tipologi bangunan dimana akan menganalisa beberapa aspek pada bangunan - bangunan ruang pertunjukan dari terdahulu hingga kekinian. Konsep utama bangunan ini mengutamakan fleksibilitas ruang sehingga bisa digunakan untuk beberapa kegiatan yang berbeda.

In this article I employ the notion of the Third Space as a point of departure in order to expand and complicate our thinking about student-faculty partnerships, with the goal of enquiring into the acceptability of and comfort with such space for faculty who self-identify as underrepresented. I consider the practical and real repercussions for these faculty members of engaging in partnership in the context of a reality that is very much shaped by dominant cultural practices, and racial, social, and cultural hierarchies and divisions, and look at how the concept of the liminal space plays out in their professional lives. The findings presented in the article come out of a qualitative analysis of oral semi-structured interviews with underrepresented faculty.
