Ethnomethodology as Science

Social Studies of Science, 1985
Although this is an extended, a systematic and in some ways a sophisticated exposition of the work of Harold Garfinkel, it is nevertheless designed to serve as an introduction to that work and as a means of making it accessible to a wider audience. Hence it is sensible that the book should be reviewed by outsiders, as well as by specialists better ...

Philosophy of the Social Sciences, 2003
Ethnomethodology is in trouble, its conceptual apparatus prone to indifference or misunderstanding both from “conventional” sociologists and from its own practitioners.

On the Commitments of Ethnomethodology*

Sociological Inquiry, 1974
This essay attempts to identify some underlying commitments of ethnomethodology. The commitments explored are the idea of reflexivity, science, normal practice and the radical empirical stance–all of which are essential to ethnomethodology.

This will commence with a review of the ideas of the founding father of phenomenology, Edmund Husserl.

Ethnomethodology and the Problem of Categorization

1978
In the latter stages of the research, my attention became increasingly focused on the work of ethnomethodologists.1 This interest was increased by the persistent failure to find any positive assistance from other types of sociology in solving the problem of what to do next in the light of the research findings, or indeed of what sort of conclusion ...

On the disciplinary status of ethnomethodology

2018
The disciplinary status of ethnomethodology is uncertain. It has been presented as a radical internal reform movement, aimed at re-specifying the focus of sociology; as an ‘alternate’ or supplement to it; as a discipline in its own right; or as a source of hybrid studies that complement various forms of practice.
