This volume includes an unpublished manuscript and selected
portions of five seminars by Harold Garfinkel - the founder of
ethnomethodology - on the topic of practices in the natural
sciences and mathematics. The volume provides a coherent and
sustained account of his program for the study of ordinary and
specialized social actions. Presenting broader theoretical and
methodological initiatives, as well as discussions and summaries of
exemplary studies of social phenomena within and beyond the
sciences, this work dates to the period in the 1980s during which
the field of Science and Technology Studies was taking shape, with
ethnomethodological studies of scientific practice forming a major
part of its development at the time. Aside from their historical
importance, the manuscript and seminars present a distinctive
perspective on the natural and social sciences that remains highly
original and pertinent to research on science, social science, and
everyday life today. Offering critical insights and proposals
relating to developments in Ethnomethodology and Conversation
Analysis, this volume will appeal to scholars of Sociology and
Science and Technology Studies with interests in the work of
Garfinkel. The Open Access version of this book, available at
