Or you are not, whatever you think of sociology, autoethnography is at best, writing a memoir. One's lived experience is not science no matter what you call it.

It's perfectly adequate evidence for homeopaths, I'm sure Vixen is fine with it too.

Wow, bigoted or what? So now Sociology is akin to homeopathy.

Nope, I wasn't comparing sociology to homeopathy. You're having trouble with your reading comprehension again.

Ignorant belief. Those PhD dissertations are properly supervised and constructed every step of the way, just like any other academic theses. It certainly isn't, 'at best, writing a memoir'. Sheeeesh!
What it's really about is right-wingers frothing at the mouth at researchers studying in-depth analyses of - for example - living in Toxteth.

I have never said I believed in homeopathy so I'll thank you not to falsely attribute claims to me that I have never made.

Moral panic! Those dreadlocked Sociology of PE students are writing theses about 'lived experience' in grimy northern towns instead of like the young Lord Huffton-Buffton of Tesco writing about his noble ancestors at the Battle of Leamington Spa and its impact on Kings and Queens of England and the House of Fraser.
Ooooh, shouldn't be allowed..!

Why try to equate Sociology with homeopathy in the first place and a pathetic attempt to make out I believe in fact- and evidence- free cobblers?

Autoethnographies are. Are you under the impression that sociology only consists of autoethnographies? That would be a far more damning indictment than anything I ever said or even thought about the field.

Mojo didn't. He compared you to a believer in homeopathy.

Don't be ridiculous.

Exactly, which is a blatant lie as I have never expressed a belief in homeopathy or similar.
It's just hazing for fun.

Vixen, this is a public service announcement. The word "theses" is plural. Two or more of the things. The singular form is "thesis".

Autoethnography is very much like homeopathy.

As with all academic theses, PhD dissertations vary greatly in the quality of their supervision and construction.

What's to study?
Sociology is something that is taught in grade school. As a university subject that you can get a degree in, it is a soft option for people who don't have the intelligence or the ability to tackle hard subjects like engineering, physics, chemistry, maths etc
It IS made up wokerati nonsense? It doesn't even begin to compare with hard subjects.
