Indeed - a large % of USA peer reviewed arts & humanities papers are on 'autoethnographical' "research". Doubtless our arts faculties follow those clowns, whistling & tooting too, in their own faculty pantomime parade.
As if the bias of one's own opinion of one's own, would not disqualify the needed objectivity of any true empirical science.
As if the bias of one's own opinion of one's own would ever pretend to be a shared epistemic knowledge.
Beggar's belief!
The sooner the arts & humanities are expunged from all academia, or at least totally divorced & appropriately ostracised from it, the better.
