- Title
A Review of Institutional Ethnography: A Theory of Practice for Writing Studies Researchers.
- Authors
Guthrie, Emma Lee
- Abstract
Although writing studies scholars have used many methodologies to study these topics and to create sustainable change initiatives, institutional ethnography (IE), which seeks to uncover how things happen, may best equip us for this important work. In the Introduction, LaFrance outlines the methodological similarities and differences between IE and ethnography, a popular methodology in writing studies. Engaging with Rebecca Rickly's (2008) definitions of method and methodology, LaFrance claims that IE can be both a means for data collection and also a larger structure for theorizing writing research. Throughout these case studies, LaFrance illustrates institutional scenarios writing scholars can relate to, providing a methodology for writing studies scholars to discover how individual work relates to broader institutional contexts.
