Institutional Ethnography : A Sociology For People, Paperback by Smith, Dorothy E., ISBN 0759105022, ISBN-13 9780759105027, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Smith (emerita, sociology and equity studies in education, U. of Toronto, Canada) describes and defends an alternative sociology that has its foundations in the women's movements. The method of inquiry, institutional ethnography, is based on an ontology of the social that concentrates on people's everyday lived experiences in institution and sees language as coordinator of people's subjectivities. She thus explains institutional ethnography as discovering the relevance of people's experience to mapping institutions and recognizing the way texts enter into the organization of institutional forms of action.
