This article aims to move readers toward a deeper understanding of and widened respect for autoethnography’s capacity as an empirical endeavor. The authors argue in favor of autoethnography as empirical by translating information from its epistemological and methodological history across the AERA standards for reporting empirical social science research. The article concludes by imagining a rubric that may assist researchers, editors, and reviewers in translating autoethnographic scholarship as credible and defensible empirical research.
