Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter (peer-reviewed)

Abstract / Description of output

This article provides a brief summary of ethnomethodology in terms of its origins, concepts, programs, future, and critiques thereof. Some key misconceptions surrounding ethnomethodology are signposted for the reader. Throughout, ethnomethodology's distinctive approach to classic topics in the social sciences is made clear, an approach which has similarities with that of actor–network theory and nonrepresentational theory. Where possible some of the topics that ethnomethodology has sought to respecify have been cited. Finally, links are made with current developments in human geography in order to situate the approach's relevance for a geographical research.
