The Palgrave Handbook of Institutional Ethnography

A comprehensive guide to the alternative sociology originating in the work of Dorothy E. Smith, this Handbook not only explores the basic, founding principles of institutional ethnography (IE), but also captures current developments, approaches, and debates. Now widely known as a sociology for people, IE offers the tools to uncover the social relations shaping the everyday world in which we live and is utilized by scholars and social activists in sociology and beyond, including such fields as education, nursing, social work, linguistics, health and medical care, environmental studies, and other social-service related fields. Covering the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of IE, recent developments, and current areas of research and application that have yet to appear in the literature, The Palgrave Handbook of Institutional Ethnography is suitable for both experienced practitioners of institutional ethnography and those who are exploring this approach for the first time.

Engages with the foundations of institutional ethnography along with new developments, both theoretical and methodological

Gathers together an international and diverse group of IE scholars to discuss a wide range of research topics

Provides an overview of IE to those new to the approach while at once extending and challenging its typical paradigms to provide new areas of exploration to experienced IE researchers
