Ethnomethodology, Harold Garfinkel's ideas made simple, a beginners guide

Описание: Ethnomethodology and Harold Garfinkel's ideas are more simple than you think! In this beginner guide, I'll walk you through them.

We'll start off by putting ethnomethodology in context, positioning it as the applied version of phenomenology.

After that we'll break down the ethnomethodological view of the social world and social order - in a nutshell, there is no tangible, external social order! It's all just an illusion!

Once we've digested that, I'll explain some of Garfinkel's more detailed ideas like the reflexive construction of reality and indexicality, drawing on his findings from the infamous Counselling Study and other breaching experiments.

By the time we get to the end of the video, you'll be much clearer about ethnomethodology and it will no longer be an intimidating word!

📗 How qualitative PhDs really get finished
There isn’t a magic formula.
There isn’t a quick fix.
And there definitely isn’t a super hack.
Qualitative PhDs aren’t easy – and anyone who says they are isn’t being honest with you.
But there IS a structured process that makes the whole thing more manageable.
If you’re ready to get serious about finishing – and approach it with structure, clarity and intention – my PhD Survival Guides walk you through exactly how to do that.
