Session 002: CRITICAL DIALOGUE: Teaching Institutional Ethnography
Room: Joyce
Sponsor: Institutional Ethnography
Organizers &
Presiders/Discussants: Eric Mykhalovskiy, York University
Suzanne Vaughan, Professor Emeritus, Arizona State University
Description: Institutional Ethnography (IE) is an important alternative sociology with a growing corpus of empirical and methodological writings produced by scholars across the globe. Writing and discourse specially on how to teach IE is far less common, despite its importance for the continued development of IE. As an approach that cuts against the grain of established sociology, IE can be difficult to teach and learn. This session invites speakers and participants to critically reflect on the challenges, possibilities, and future of teaching IE. Our aim is to create a context for sharing ideas, resources, and strategies that can strengthen teaching IE as an alternative sociology.
