By its very nature ethnography is an emergent methodology. To be
ethical the ethnographer needs to manage research ethics in-situ.
This need to manage ethical dilemmas as they arise often comes into
conflict with increased ethical regulation and procedures from
ethics review boards that require the researcher to foresee ethical
quandaries before data collection commences. These regulations can
constrain the emerging purpose of the study, evolving means of data
collection and multifaceted ways of interacting with participants
that are seen as being the strengths of undertaking an ethnographic
approach. The chapters in this volume problematise this tension and
highlight the importance of managing ethics in-situ by reflecting
on recently completed and current projects drawing out ethical
dilemmas relating to data ownership, dissemination, representation,
social justice and managing ethnographic studies in the midst of a
global pandemic and Covid-19 lockdowns. Reflecting on these
experiences of doing educational ethnography with children and
young people, drawing on a diverse range of studies conducted in
England, Scotland, South America, India, and the Basque Country,
this volume argues that administrative and conceptual change is
needed to ensure that ethics does not become a tick box exercise
but that ethnographers commit fully to conscientiously managing
ethics in-situ.
This book explores recent developments in Institutional Ethnography
(IE) and offers reflective accounts on how IE is being utilised and
understood in social research. IE is a sociological sub-discipline
developed by Dorothy E. Smith that seeks to explicate the textual
mediation of people's everyday experiences in their local sites of
being. As an approach, IE is growing in significance across the
globe, particularly in Canada, USA, Australia and UK. This
collection includes contributions from those involved in the early
development of IE alongside Smith as well as early career
researchers, new to the sociology, theory and method of IE.
Chapters focus on IE as a sociological theory and qualitative
research method; the relationship between data generation and
analysis in IE; implications from its findings for policy; and IE
as a significant methodological approach. This involves explication
of the theoretical, the operationalization of IE, and links between
the theoretical and the empirical. It illuminates the relationship
between data generation and analysis and includes consideration of
its own textual relations of ruling.
First published in 1999. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
