Abstract:
The article examines a Caribbean scholar’s survival within colonial-shaped academia, showing how creative autoethnographic methods (visual art, haiku, poetic inquiry) operate as methodological and emotional scaffolding. Through three paintings and six haikus used analytically, the work documents everyday strategies of methodological endurance that preserve relational, spiritual, and intellectual integrity while navigating Euro‑American performance metrics and institutional contradictions, contributing practical insights to postcolonial methodological innovation.
